The one problem I have with the RNG, based on my reading of the analysis, is that programmers cannot access the "raw" bitstream, only the stream after the "digital post-processing" that converts the bitstream into a stream of balanced 1 and 0 bits. > And as pointed out before, this level of paranoia is ultimately self > defeating, as Intel could just as easily put back doors into its CPU. Also, there are much better places to leak information, including keyboard and monitor designs that radiate detectable signals (the "Tempest" problem). Martin Minow [EMAIL PROTECTED]
