We have set up a mailing list to discuss implementation and test
vectors for the Yarrow PRNG. To subscribe, send mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with "subscribe yarrow" in the body.
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?
