In theory, by the by, disk access can ALSO be controlled to a degree
(less than network, but still)... So - whence entropy? Shall we now start
adding external devices via RS232 (some kind of multi-cascade motion
detector ;-)...
And take the risk that the server next doo in the hosting farm can
install a radio-sensitive serial-cable reader to read your serial
traffic (sounds impossible? Ask the security products people who
worked at Efrat/Comverse about ten years ago).
While we have our late spring paranoia outbreak, why not building a white
noise generator if we already have plenty of randomness available? Or,
perhaps, a different RNG, only to feed the white noise? Well I am full of
cheap ideas today, pick a B/W _lamp_ TV from flea market, rip the shields off
and install it on your server rack. Or, I think every hardware type have a
good old CD-ROM in his or her "Parts" pile that, being plugged in into 12/5
molex, messes up radio reception in an entire block. Much like mother
Russia's jamming devices, only in a much more useful form factor. That's the
only reason I keep mine. For the noisy neighbors :)
Could someone explain to me what is needed exactly ? What do u mean by
randomness or entropy and what is it used for.
don't use childish language.
As an incentive , let me ask this : why can't the random numbers source
be the silence in the PC .
If we look at all the parts as ascillators or metronoms ( PCI : AGP :
BUS : CPU ) ,
And if we remember that Prime numbers are metronom events that by
introducing division create a set of "machpelot" that cannot be divided
further and thus the subset of the form 1*number are the Prime numbers ,
If we treat the numbers as waves/functions on the sea surface than a
silnce would likely be a meeting of some functions but Primes would be a
special kind of them.
So would looking for a moment of silence that is this special kind be
enough to form a randomness generator ?
