Those extractors are intended to combine *independent* sources with weak entropy. None of our sources we have in add_*_randomness are independent. In addition, I am not sure why this research is so hyped. I think that the 3- source extractor described in [1] is more efficient and easier to implement [1] "Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources" by Boaz Barak, Russell Impagliazzo, Avi Wigderson Ciao Stephan -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
