hello people,
i was talking to a friend, and he was describing the inability of PC
based security devices to have proper pseudo-random number generation.
This sounds to me that i needed some investigation. My general question
is: does someone ever heard about any type of cryptographic attack

Short answer: Linux mainly uses interrupt timings as an entropy
source, from devices that are fairly unpredictable. Assuming those
are secure, the entropy pool is protected by a SHA hash of it's state
when something needs random bits.
