But I think the main problem is that we simply don't know. It would require doing long term testing of the entropy source. There will be a decay, but how bad, how fast. The way the source is used the effect should be that the bitrate rate decreases. The proposed mechanism is a way to reduce the uncertainty. But yes, I don't like adding this mechanism unless it really is needed. The HW complexity of the atual on/off switch is very small though. And As FT says it can be disabled, which pushes the problems of starting, warmup, race w regards to random number consumers etc into the future. - -- Med vänlig hälsning, Yours Joachim Strömbergson - Alltid i harmonisk svängning. ======================================================================== Joachim Strömbergson Secworks AB [email protected] ======================================================================== -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJWqJ8oAAoJEF3cfFQkIuyNxxcP/3W1vXX+G5NKjGTDuJdYhRsp c5q0gXVoaIdfGcUH9P/X0qg1vZI4e96VkWbqW5K4TobBDJEiW8e5i8ql2MYgrzrW pkIvsGZx7h4w4vVS4UBkizISdBhHF2sj/bUXNT5rSFy0Ri7HByKmM/1CpbLXv6Yo o7iA9b8YiOeHjAV8lLXg8Bdpba7mXKgzbUmJp/XO84QwzXHuFtX0pa/I7JG1cI/P v96w9ufOEqWUBinlB92Ih2wqfFyAIkwrVKv6jpFGxCT7H+e4VVTy2rXbiWnaUDMv Iv3uNLPficpPcyg5zkBM+oJcElF8Vt+0B65tZAuWeSx4EYmM459ACT+S1XLpNl+R CAtPgUUZ+LUNVLXou2cAgVpMo+dnpexCkBOYiW2KgKDO5Kpcp04C26Agzv3HfJvg 56bsgzSinfC3fAJgWW86/vCFiLhMXq9Jmv76iz6TmU9qgiPv26chx2g3Pdpo/kQl odc+t0CFsQUkaloI05kwvbVlGY6YKm720nZpgjts2OAT3tLcJWT447WLXJRsrTic fgswdhJfwy6k/XYKgFpffouk3rrWEB/U4XYJxer037+MJcD1wru0riCthq1hHKHL s31ZL5x5aXylUi+GLmdrbdLEtYwy3eqmyrE4WNkMGDR1eBE/jlm9Zge/F+VrH+9N HGdL+Avq2eD8DyUDgA/j =T2yp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cryptech.is/listinfo/tech
