Comment (by catalyst): Replying to [comment:9 teor]: > It might be ok to only have 48 bits of entropy. Or we could extend that scheme to give us 52 (or >52 with subnormals). Would we have to do something different to make sure the subnormal values are uniform with the others? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23061#comment:10> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online _______________________________________________ tor-bugs mailing list tor-bugs@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-bugs
