Hello again, I've seen some discussion about the "dangers" of using the openssl incorrectly but it has left me more confused than before. I'm using openssl because I don't know much about ssl and I want a libary to take care of the details. As I understand it the PRNG initializes itself correctly under linux because of /dev/urandom. On other operating systems we should take care of giving openssl some random data. If we don't will the library complain or just operate unsafely? What is the *current* behavior of openssl with respect to this? Is there anything else that is not obvious and could reduce the security of openssl? Thanks in advance, Vincent Levesque ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
