This is pretty clearly a big deal. The fact that you can skew HRNGs just by fiddling with dopant levels is something I would have suspected, but now that we know, I think need for chip companies to provide access to the raw HRNG output has become even more obvious. It is not a question of not trusting the engineers who work on the hardware. It is a question of not wanting to trust every single individual in a long supply chain. Perry -- Perry E.
