Hi,
I need to seed the random number generator on Windows and can't rely on a service such as EGADS being installed and running. What would you recommend I do to gather random bytes for the seed?
Which versions of Windows are you referring to? On 2k and upwards (maybe also on NT4 with current Service Packs, but I'm not sure there) the RNG should be automatically seeded quite fine using MS Crypto API.
Thanks,
Mike
Hope it helps, Ted ;)
