(sighs) it was so good until this...
That's a typo actually, I meant urandom, I'll correct it.
thank you. sorry for me being rough: i was trying to make a joke, and
i was pretty sure that it was a typo. but now i reread my post and
found that the joke mysteriously turned into something i didn't meant
to say.
Actually it would be better not to use urandom directly but use it as
source to regularly reseed another PRNG in order to avoid some warts
but meh. As a first step it's good enough as it is.
yeah. yet, urandom is using cryptoprng (salsa now, afair), so it may be
used as-is too. ah, even good old arc4 is not that bad -- as urandom is
almost never have a "scratch start" case. and one can throw away 2k-3k
of values just to be sure anyway. ;-)
ah, i *meant* to say: "good article". so: good article! ;-)
