Right, if the cause is indeed thermal noise. There might be also a variation caused by deterministic side-channel feedbacks such as power consumption or temperature change depending on what the processor is doing or poorly filtered voltage containing frequencies from the environment (such as switching power supply), but that is getting quite academical ;) Out of curiosity: Does the picture change if you are running the test hardware in a refrigerator at -20 degrees celsius and at say 40 degrees? ;) -- Stano ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
