You should look for a cryptographically-secure random number generator.
Seriously, you

What you are thinking of won't be designated 140-3, it's not sequential,
there is such a FIPS level already. Probably FIPS-{new}-2 or FIPS-140-2 2010

Hello,
I'm actually writing a Matlab toolbox that uses OpenSSL. I put together a
function, actually its really heavily based on the OpenSSL book, that
generates random keys and IV. Anyway, I wasn't comfortable with how I was

Sorry if this has been ask before.
I need to use 'wget' to do a secure file download. It works great at
the command line. Unfortunately wget asks for the PEM passphrase.
However this will eventually be part of an embedded application so the
