It just occurred to me that the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\RNG\Seed (type REG_BINARY) contains the latest seeded value from everything that CryptoAPI takes into account when generating its random seed. CryptoAPI permutes it with RC4 to come up with a pseudo-random stream, but I wonder if it might make sense to try to make use of it the same way OpenSSL on UNIX uses /dev/urandom?
Just a thought. -- -Kyle H ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
