[openssl-dev] Plea for a new public OpenSSL RNG API

[Blumenthal, Uri - 0553 - MITLL]

Could you please be more specific wrt. DRBG organization that in your opinion could impact the UI? 

NIST 90Ar1 seems specific enough on what functionality DRBG can provide to users, and it doesn't seem like a very elaborate or rich interface. Why would it change, regardless of what you may need to do with it internally?

Regards,
Uri
