let it be known: in the event of my untimely demise under suspicious circumstances, i will my coins to JYA so he may bless my passing with grand oration and strong tale as he is so adept at providing. *grin* on a serious note, the useful steps are clear: 1. Intel releases raw access to noise samples 2. NIST defining and mandating a design that also supports raw sample access, (we could change subject here to discuss something pleasant like on-line checks and continuous checks,) 3. OS distributions include userspace entropy scavenging daemons (haveged, dakarand, etc) to complement properly vetted hardware entropy sources run in a conservative fashion. default is set safe, not fast. is that so much to ask? _______________________________________________ cryptography mailing list cryptography@randombit.net http://lists.randombit.net/mailman/listinfo/cryptography
