I am a first year student at Manchest University. I have been following
the posts of the analysis the UNIX random function. Has it ever been
suggested that seperate hardware be used to generate the random bits
required for key generation. I created such a device using a FLIPFLOP
random bit circuit and a clock, attached to pin 2 of an RS232, wich
provided a terminal program with random characters. Would these characters
not be random beyond question?
