Dear all:
The PUDEC (Practical Use of Dice for Entropy Collection) scheme has been
advanced. The new web page is at http://pudec.connotech.com
The main technical advance in this release is the documentation of
(deterministic) algorithmic support (
http://pudec.connotech.com/pudec_algo.html ). This development effort
uses a structured process as if it targeted FIPS140-2 level 4
certification, hence the release of documentation before reference
source code.
Plus the PUDEC dice sets are now offered for sale.
If you are part of an open source project (GPL) for a cryptographic key
management server or an "open source HSM" and you see a useful feature
in self-evident entropy source, don't hesitate to contact me (I would
consider an open source contribution if such projects have a reasonable
chance of critical mass adoption).
Enjoy!

(OK, it's also practical whenever the server needs servicing by trusted
personnel.)
Then, you care about the deterministic PRNG properties, the secrecy of
its current state, and the prevention of PRNG output replays from an
out-of-date saved state.
And bingo, you solved the random secret generation issue satisfactorily!
