Re: Random #'s via serial port dongle?

Timothy C. May says:

I don't think generating random numbers is all that much of a priority. The Blum-Blum-Shub C code is available, and I defy anyone to break _that_ PRNG!

Its partially a question of speed. Many applications, like one time pads, are just too slow to generate random strings for given normal techniques. Its partially a question of automation -- I'd like to be able to generate public/private key pairs on a regular basis and its hard to do given all the goddamn typing. Its partially a question of abstract hacker satisfaction -- one would like to know that one's numbers are RANDOM. Myself, I'd want one. Perry
