Is there a secure way to timeshare a single entropy source such as an entropy key? High-quality entropy sources are often fragile, expensive, or difficult to manufacture and maintain. If Alice has a friggin' amazing entropy source, and Bob wants to use it from afar, what would be the best way for Alice to let Bob retrieve data from the entropy source when she wasn't using it?

If Bob requires *really* *great* entropy, why would he trust a network l>ink (secured with a non information theoretically secure cipher such as AES) to transmit his entropy securely?
Since the network seeks to compress data at every turn, I think we can say it knows entropy when it sees it. ...
In short -- asking someone else to generate your random numbers is, of course, a state of sin.
