Issue #2472 has been reported by Robin Carey. ---------------------------------------- Bug #2472: L15 update http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2472
Author: Robin Carey Status: New Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Dear DragonFlyBSD-bugs, I have made a couple of updates to the L15 algorithm since it was imported into the DragonFlyBSD tree as the CSPRNG used for /dev/urandom (/sys/kern/kern_nrandom.c). The first update (output indirection) is purely security related (and a slight decrease in performance), so I doubt you'd be interested in that. However, the second update (which I implemented last night) increases performance and also is a minor security improvement. I would have thought this would be of interest to DragonFly, especially considering that the (random) system thread on DragonFly calls NANOUP_EVENT() approximately once every second. Both updates are available in source form (C++): http://www.leopard.uk.com/L15 And the corresponding documentation (regarding both updates) is also available from the above URL. If you have an questions or don't understand what I'm talking about feel free to contact me by E-mail. -- Sincerely, Robin Carey BSc -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
