100 bits of entropy with FIPS/EAL4 certified hw RNG?

2012-01-18 Thread Magosányi Árpád
Hi! My application uses openssl-fips for random number generation, where the seeding have to have at least 100 bits of entropy coming from a hardware random generator which is certified either to FIPS or CC EAL4. Due to economy we want to use a USB token and not a full-featured HSM. I have tw
