I have a problem that I am working on. I am certain there must be a
simple way to do it but I haven't yet discovered it in the docs yet. I
am hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
BTW, this is a programming issue so using a command line function isn't
useful. I have an X509 certifi
Linux (gentoo variant).

I see things for adding entropy, loading files, etc. I don't see
anything about generating random numbers. Am I missing something so
obvious if it was a snake it would have bitten me by now?

Generating one or two random numbers over a period of time isn't a big
deal. Generating 100,000+ 128 bit random numbers an hour taxes
/dev/random and /dev/urandom. Even the use of EGAD doesn't help.
If you re-read the thread you will see that I wrote what I thought was a
reasonable approach and l
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 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
