New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>: The comment for Python/random.c:_PyOS_URandom() states
> Fill buffer with size pseudo-random bytes, not suitable for cryptographic > use, from the operating random number generator (RNG). which is not correct as all paths use a RNG that is suitable for most cryptographic purposes except long living private keys for asymmetric encryption. Also the function isn't documented although it's an official API function and plays a vital role on the new hash randomization. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 164218 nosy: christian.heimes, docs@python, haypo, pitrou priority: low severity: normal status: open title: _PyOS_URandom documentation versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15213> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
