Hello,
There�s a secure form to gain entropy in a system to generate a really
secure private key using openSSL??
Think about that... if you have enough entropy to do good keys, suppose
that not any longer than 1024 bits. What�s happened if you want to
generate a key with 2048 bits length when entropy is out?? Well, an
algorithm do the job to generate pseudorandom numbers. (In case that
/dev/random or /dev/urandom doesn�t stop, because I don�t remember now but
any of this devices stops when entropy is out)
Then... I start again with my first question. there�s a good way to
generate entropy??? [Suppose that the machine who generates the key will
not have much interrupts because anybody are in front of the keyboard to
generate it]
I was thinked a funny analogical forms to generate entropy... but there�s
something more "formal". [I can�t migrate entropy from one machine to
another because others machines could not have secure entropy].
Thanks a lot!
[Note: my english is not enoguh good... please, if you need a better
explanation please ask me :-) ]
