I have just read the Intel "technical brief" covering the Intel hardware RNG device (ftp://download.intel.com/design/security/rng/techbrief.pdf) interesting read; although it and the accompanying documents (http://developer.intel.com/design/security/rng/rngppr.htm) still do not cover in detail and

Rich - I am not sure I understand what you are saying; currently rand_win.c calles CryptGenRandom (CryptoAPI) and the "INTEL_DEF_PROV " to acquire input to the entropy functions in OpenSSL. /* poll the Pentium PRG with CryptoAPI */ if (acquire(&hProvider, 0
