I am considering calling RAND_seed at different times during my program, I
was wondering what people who really understand PRNG and the openssl PRNG
library would think of the following scenario:
1. Assume the application runs forever.
2. Once per day lots of random information is collected from several
sources (ie, mouse moves, time between key presses etc.)
3. I take all this data and call RAND_seed with it.
I am going to improve the "randomness" of numbers from the PRNG by doing
this? Or am I just wasting clock cycles?
Thanks,
Bill Browning
