First, a reminder that the design goal of /dev/random proper is information-theoretic security. That is, it should be secure against an attacker with infinite computational power. I am skeptical. I have never seen any convincing evidence for this claim, and I suspect that there are cases

/dev/urandom depends on the strength of the crypto primitives. /dev/random does not. All it needs is a good uniform hash. That's not at all clear. I'll go farther: I think it is unlikely to be true. If you want to think about cryptographic primitives being arbitrarily broken, I think
