I have to generate quite a few random keys (and iv's) during a days. It comes out to about 1 million keys (16 bytes each) and 1 million iv's (16 bytes each).
I tried using /dev/random and /dev/urandom but in one case it blocks too much of the time and in the other seems to run pretty slow. I tried using EGAD et al to no avail. So I decided to take a different approach. I am hoping to hear from others how they might have solved the problem. I thought I would take a hash of the message and using it as the salt call EVP_BytesToKey. I was wondering what others think of this solution.
