[openssl-project] Entropy seeding the DRBG

[Richard Levitte]

Like I think I mentioned a few days ago, I'm currently on a conference. I'll take this up in more depth later this week.

I have a question, though... Kurt said at some point that all that was needed on the VMS side was to collect data, the rest can be done elsewhere (thankfully). However, I don't really understand what the collected data is supposed to be. Just the same stream of bytes that I would feed the entropy acquisition, or something else? Is the time delta between samples a factor in this?

Cheers
