bug in random(4) man page: 4th paragraph: This implementation uses A .... should be: This implementation uses a ..... Also, 6th paragrpah: ... which is not considered to be as secure .... I'm not sure what information was used to make that statement; L15 is secure. I analysed the security of it myself and so far nobody has broken it. The only big difference between L15 and IBAA that I know of might be that L15 produces sequences with small gaps (just like ARC4), whereas IBAA probably doesn't do that; it probably produces a higher quality pseudo-random sequence.
