Hi,

I have a related question concerning alternative RNGs, hope it is not too 
off-topic:

Currently we are using the NIST-SP800-90a compliant DRBG (FIPS_drbg_method()), 
because it seemed to us to be more
sophisticated and mature than the default RAND_SSLeay(). At least it's better 
documented and tested.

Currently this DRBG is only available through the FIPS object module, so you 
need to build a FIPS capable OpenSSL library in 
order to use it.

Shouldn't the FIPS DRBG code be added to the normal code base in master, too, 
as an alternative RNG implemtation?
Or is the NIST-SP800-90a DRG construction already obsolete outside of FIPS 
world?


Regards,
Matthias
