Hi, regarding this, the Simtec Entropy Key http://www.entropykey.co.uk/ is available for sale online since a few days ago. This is an USB hardware entropy generator. Perhaps this would be something to consider in your tests regarding quality and speed of entropy generation. Kind Regards, Sebastian -- New GPG Key: 0x93A0B9CE (F4F6 B1A3 866B 26E9 450A 9D82 58A2 D94A 93A0 B9CE) Old GPG Key-ID: 0x76B79F20 (0x1B6034F476B79F20) 'Are you Death?' ... IT'S THE SCYTHE, ISN'T IT? PEOPLE ALWAYS NOTICE THE SCYTHE. -- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
