I have a curl built with OpenSSL. The built of OpenSSL uses hardware randomization on the platform using _rdrand64(). When I use libcurl, typically through git, I end up with an open to PRNGD, which is not desirable. I'm wondering whether there is a configuration setting that I am missing from curl to force this, or whether I should contribute code to access the x86 hardware randomizer directly. There is no /dev/urandom or /dev/random on this platform, aside from it being POSIX compliant. Curl is configured as follows:
When built to use OpenSSL, curl will call OpenSSL's RAND_bytes() function for random. If you can make that use your hardware or not is probably a question for OpenSSL. I don't know.
