Re: [openssl-dev] Work on a new RNG for OpenSSL

[Blumenthal, Uri - 0553 - MITLL]

      My thoughts.
    
      Randomness should be whitened.  Anything feed into an randomness pool, 
should be mixed in and run through SHA256.
                    pool = SHA256(pool || new-randomness)
    
Pseudorandomness of the output has been a design goal/requirement only in SHA-3 
family. Any prior hash function’s exhibition of this property is coincidental.

Therefore I suggest using SHA3 instead.
