RE: OpemSSL Hardware Random Number Generator (RNG) for Intel Chip sets.

I have just read the Intel "technical brief" covering the Intel hardware RNG device (ftp://download.intel.com/design/security/rng/techbrief.pdf) interesting read; although it and the accompanying documents (http://developer.intel.com/design/security/rng/rngppr.htm) still do not cover in detail and

RE: OpemSSL Hardware Random Number Generator (RNG) for Intel Chip sets.

Granted; guess I should not have given such high praise to the quality/uniqueness of that this device produces since they do not provide information on its design nor state that it has been evaluated by any qualified independent reviewers. My assumption was and I guess still (to some degree) that

> I am not sure I understand what you are saying You called the intel h/w rng "excellent." I believe consensus is "we don't know." The code you showed does exactly the right thing: don't rely on the h/w RNG directly, but use it as an entropy source. /r$ -- Zolera Systems, Secu

RE: OpemSSL Hardware Random Number Generator (RNG) for Intel Chip sets.

Rich - I am not sure I understand what you are saying; currently rand_win.c calles CryptGenRandom (CryptoAPI) and the "INTEL_DEF_PROV " to acquire input to the entropy functions in OpenSSL. /* poll the Pentium PRG with CryptoAPI */ if (acquire(&hProvider, 0

Did you know that many of the new Intel desktop and server chipsets have a built in Hardware Random Number generator? I did not until a while ago. If your computer uses the Intel® 815 chipset, Intel® 820 chipset, Intel® 840 chipset, Intel® 850 chipset, or Intel® 860 chipset you have a excel
