Is this new RNG object available to user programs, or do they need to reinvent the wheel even though they definitely link against the OpenSSL library? You don’t have to re-invent the wheel, but you might have to modify the source ☺ Did you read the blog posting? What wasn’t

Offhand, I'd say it's a perfect solution. It allows me to mix in additional randomness when I want to the RNG that I think may need it. Exactly what I need. Thanks! P.S. I wonder if it's feasible to have a configuration parameter that would allow me to tell the TLS code to invoke
