We have set up a mailing list to discuss implementation and test
vectors for the Yarrow PRNG. (The subscription info is at the end of
this message, in the hope that the list software won't complain about
the s-word this time. :)
Our Yarrow implementation is available from
http://opensource.zeroknowledge.com
It uses OpenSSL for the hash function and cipher, and it can be hooked
into the RAND_METHOD to replace OpenSSL's built-in PRNG.
The Yarrow API is different from other PRNGs in that it differenciates
between different randomness sources. That means that applications
must call the Yarrow_Input function directly, or the OpenSSL API
(RAND_add() and RAND_METHOD) would have to be modified to reflect
this.
Is there any interest to have Yarrow incorporated into OpenSSL, for
example as a compile-time option?
