I thought that Linux's random device now supports the HRNG's
for Intel, AMD and Via. Here's the docs on the Intel HRNG:

Hey OpenSSL guru guys!
Just downloaded http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.7g.tar.gz
ALL the header files in openssl-0.9.7g\include\openssl are zero bytes in
length!??
Is there something wrong with the distribution or am I doing something
stupid?
Thanks in advance,
Pj.

This is a few years old, but may be useful. The code illustrates the
use of the HMAC variant on ANSI X9.17 key generation as described in the
paper, used to generate random byte strings. It uses the hash functions
in the OpenSSL libraries.

Hi all,
Due to a number of last minute reports, the final release of OpenSSL
0.9.8 is delayed a few days to give the affected people a chance to
test that the corrections done do fix things as expeted.

If I'm lacking a clue here can someone please give me one? If I'm up the
creek without a paddle and need to stick with 0.9.7e then can someone
tell me that? Has anyone encountered this error, and if so is there a
reasonable fix? I can't move to the beta because I have too many

Use /dev/urandom to seed your own PRNG. Or use it to seed OpenSSL's
PRNG.
Why are you asking on this list anyway?

Hi All
I was trying to reduce the size of the openSsl library due to memory
constraints on our platform.
I tried to remove three patented ciphers idea, rc5 and mdc2. Any ideas what
more can be done to
reduce the final size of the library?.
thanks and regards

I can't add anything beyond what is available on a AMD or Intel
motherboard. So is there a built-in HRNG that I can get to (if so, where
is the driver for it)?
Thanks again,

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

How I can generate this buffer of random data?. And, "num" is the entropy,
but, what is it?. How I obtain this entropy?.
I use Windows.
