<p><a name="_MailOriginalBody">Currently, the VMS version of rand_pool_acquire_entropy() delivers 256<br>
bits of entropy. The DRBG using AES-256-CTR and wanting 50% extra<br>
bits for the nonce demands 384 bits of entropy. Obviously, this makes<br>
anything random related to fail on VMS.<o:p></o:p></a></p>
<p><span style="mso-bookmark:_MailOriginalBody">The solution for now, until we get the VMS rand_pool_acquire_entropy()<br>
to deliver more entropy, is to lower the bar for VMS specifically,<br>
i.e. making the default scrambling cipher AES-128-CTR instead of<br>
AES-256-CTR.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
