Re: real randomness for netscape - user clicking mouse

While it is true that on some versions of X you can watch mouse events on other peoples computers, it is also true that on some versions you can watch keyboard input. At CMU Bennet Yee wrote a program to get peoples passwords as they typed them in using X's poor/non-existent security back then. This was before xauth. I still think that the low bits of the mouses X and Y positions as the user moves the mouse around the screen are a very good source of random bits for Netscape. -- Vince
