to use RAND_seed() to seed the The random number generator? For example, if RSA_public_encrypt() is invoked in a loop, should RAND_seed() also be in the loop?
normally it should be sufficient to set the prng once
For RSA_NO_PADDING, do we need to set the prng? Seems no reason to do it.
Of course, if you use RSA_NO_PADDING you don't need to set the prng.
