I've come across that when researching making one-time pads on pfSense, using a hardware RNG. Is there a way to have a hardware RNG (multiple, if present, e.g. AMD Geode and HiFn in an ALIX) mix in entropy into Yarrow, instead of overriding it? The later behavior is definitely not what I want. _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
