o Minor features (security):
|
|
- Never use the system entropy output directly for anything besides
|
|
seeding the PRNG. When we want to generate important keys, instead
|
|
of using system entropy directly, hash it with the PRNG stream.
|
|
This may help resist certain attacks based on broken OS entropy
|
|
implementations. Closes part of ticket 17694. |
