Hi,
A-Malik via Tails-dev:
Two questions regarding the Random seed implementation:
1. Is the "Random seed" generated every boot?
Yes, the random seed is updated during each boot and shutdown. How
that's done is described in
https://tails.net/contribute/design/random/#index2h1.
2. Is the "Random seed" static aka doesn't change if your using Persistent
Storage?
The random seed is independent of the Persistent Storage.
This random seed is stored outside of the Persistent Storage so that all users
can benefit from stronger cryptography.
But when I last looked at the /live/persistence/TailsData_unlocked/ I see the
"Random seed" so I'm a little confused now?
That is surprising, as far as I know Tails never created a file "Random
seed" in the Persistent Storage. Maybe some app or script you ran
created it?
Cheers
