The more I think about PRNGs, the worse the "no-input, strictly deterministic" ones seem for crypto. Apart from simulations and some software testing purposes, I can't think of any major cases where repeatable "random" bytestreams are really useful. Most of the time when crypto asks for random bits, it means unpredictable, not identically distributed. -- http://www.subspacefield.org/~travis/ Remediating... LIKE A BOSS
