This I got from computer historian, Simon Lavington.
The (Manchester) Ferranti Mark I had a hardware random number generator.
This was specified by Alan Turing - (A copy of his original
Internal Report, dated 1949 I believe, still exists.) ...
For what it's worth, Illiac 1 (also a
d for your particular chip -- and only
that specific chip. This essentially puts the "dongle" inside
the processor.
Mathematica does something similar, using other "system-unique"
information to bind the application to a specific machine.
This is, of course, another argument *for*
ith keys of 512 bits or less -- that is, keys less
than about 150 digits long -- would be vulnerable in the future, an
exposure that would have seemed unthinkable only five years ago. The longer
1,024-bit keys that are available today would not be vulnerable at present."

ase anyone is interested. The entire source code
of the C compiler is small enough to sight-verify in about a man-month.
A "Small C" compiler (see early issues of Dr. Dobbs) can be implemented
in about 3 man months and ought to be good enough for crypto work.

Also, there are much better places to leak information, including
keyboard and monitor designs that radiate detectable signals (the
"Tempest" problem).
