Re: Seeding the OpenSSL PRNG (continued ...)
Apparently, there are some situations where there is no entropy source to seed the OpenSSL PRNG. Is there a uniform way to detect that the OpenSSL PRNG has not been seeded? "Uniform" is uniform over the various platforms because I want to prevent that I need to check on a per platform basis whether an entropy source is lacking.
