Perry - Sorry for the rude question. I have been following this thread closely but must have missed the original message regarding using radiation detectors to produce random numbers.

So what does this have to do with this mailing list??
Generating good random numbers is key to operating a solid cryptographic system. I've argued that computer interfaced radiation detectors are the optimal way of generating such numbers because they are hard to screw up -- biased diode noise and other sources are too easy to misdesign or misuse. Aware is a source of such detectors. Perry
There have been several requests for information on the company that makes the radiation detectors with RS232 interfaces that I mentioned.
Here is how to reach them:
Aware Electronics P.O. Box 4299 Wilmington, DE 19807 Phone (800) 729-5397 (302) 655-3800
