I've only looked at it briefly, but I have a question.. Are you trying to use the GCM Galois multiply as an entropy extractor?
I don't know of any proof that it is a good extractor for any class of entropic data. That doesn't mean there isn't one, but I've not heard of one. > I've just created github repositories for two projects: > > https://github.com/sandy-harris/random.test > > Test program for things I want to add to the Linux random(4) driver.
