Oh, sorry, no, everything you said made sense. I'm hazarding a guess that we read the same Thomas Pornin Stack Exchange comment. :)


I think you're right. I probably channeled him inadvertently.

I've collected lots of links to articles and man pages and so on about the issue, because I have been planning to write a coherent article about urandom vs. random.

And I'm pretty sure I remember what posting you mean.

Unfortunately, writing this article gets postponed again and again, just as finishing and sending in the second set of your crypto challenges... maybe before Christmas I'm going to find a few hours to do that.
