Perry recently recommended the use of background-radiation detectors as good cheap true RNGs. Properly deployed cryptography generally depends upon excellent PRNGs, or preferably hardware RNGs. Perhaps you overlooked that rather lengthy thread, Skip ? -Futplex <futplex@pseudonym.com>

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
