(yes, I just ran it out of random numbers) There are ton of "hardware random number generators out there" - quite a few fairly "cheap" ones on usb. The board has internal usb headers, gpios, and i2c. Any other means of generating good random numbers? http://pcengines.ch/pdf/apu2.pdf so I figure that there might be something even simpler out there from the pi-ish or beaglebone world that could be repurposed to suit? I've always wanted to have *3* hwrngs - one designed by the NSA, another by the KGB, and one by open source folk, and to mix them together. --=20 Dave T=C3=A4ht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!
