Hi,

 

I am using OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel on Linux. 

I am generating RSA Key using RSA_generate_key(). I am able to success
on that part.

On reading the OpenSSL faq, found that the function 'RAND_egd()' needs
to be

called before generating the key.

Is it mandatory to seed before generating key?

 

Thanks,

Krishnamurthy
