Hi. I experimented a bit with collecting entropy from the time it takes for device_attach() to run (in CPU cycles). It seems that those times have enough variation that we can use it for entropy harvesting. It happens even before root is mounted, so pretty early. On the machine I'm testing it, which has minimal kernel plus NIC driver I see 75 device_attach() calls. I'm being very careful

Hi, subject more or less says it all. I freely admit to not having bothered to find some of the online papers about method of testing the quality of random number generators -- but in an idle moment I wondered what to expect from something like the following: randa<-runif(1000) randb<-runif(1000) t.test(randa,randb)$p.value var.test(randa,randb)$p.value [repeat ad nauseum] Is the

Dear all, i have a question about the "sample" function used in R, does it work as a pseudo-dandom number generator programmed with C, like it is described in Modern Applied Statics with S-Plus 3d edition chapter 5 section 2? Thanks a lot --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear All, The editor of a journal to which I had submitted a publication asked whether R has a "tested random number generator." My paper included Monte Carlo simulations generating random normal and random chi-square values. help(rnorm) lists Wichura, M. J. (1988) Algorithm AS 241: The Percentage Points of the Normal Distribution. Applied Statistics, 37, 477-484. as a

Over the holidays, I intend to finally rid portable OpenSSH of the builtin entropy collection code. Here's what I intend to do: When init_rng is called, we'll check OpenSSL's RAND_status(). If this indicates that their PRNG is already seeded, we'll do nothing. This effectively detects platforms which have /dev/urandom (or similar) configured into OpenSSL. If OpenSSL isn't

I upgraded from OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 to OpenSSH 3.4p1. Starting SSHD or ssh-keygen I'm getting the "PRNG is not seeded". I have verified that prngd is running and "egc.pl /var/spool/prngd/pool get" runs just fine reporting 32800 bits of entropy. My platform is Solaris 8 (sparc) and I downloaded binaries from www.sunfreeware.com. My guess is the build of OpenSSH 3.4.p1 is

I tracked down a problem related to running fortune at the start of every shell instance and scp. I imagine the problem would be the same with any utility automatically started upon login that prints to the screen. I am not sure if this intentional, a bug or just an annoyance that one should not run such utilities at login. Maybe one for the faq eh, so no one respends the time I just did
