Time to post this link again: > https://www.2uo.de/myths-about-urandom/ That *may* help someone who misunderstands me and perhaps thinks i meant any contradiction to anything on that page. (Which AFAIK may be just Rich, who ALWAYS assumes IF he doesn't understand someone that they're WRONG and need correction.) My concern was *since* *his* /dev/urandom reportedly got *faster*, does that mean someone *improved* it (safely!), or *broke* it (aka ^*improved*^ it, badly)? If it were my system, i'd want to be looking at the change notes to see if it was intentional, and if so what cryptographer approved the patches to urandom that made it faster. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
