Hi Soren,

A GlobalPRNG should be fine. Unless of course design requirements
dictate each thread receive it's own PRNG, etc.

I actually prefer the Global method since ASRP uses OS entropy to seed
itself (on Windows). I think it is possible to go to the well once to
often when using the underlying OS function. That is, a per thread or
per needed may tax the systems ability to deliver psuedo random bytes.

Hey,

I'm wondering whether it's okay just to instantiate a single, global
AutoSeededRandomPool in your application that is used by all the
various crypto algorithms or whether it's better to instantiate a new
AutoSeededRandomPool every time you need it (such as one for creating a
random nonce and another one when calling RSA's Encrypt() method).
