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

excellent source of random data available to you I thought consensus was that since it was a closed system, whiten it or use it as input to entropy. This is what OpenSSL does when you use RAND_screen(). It munges it up numerous items, including the PRNG, through a cryptographic hash (MD5
