I tend to believe "them" when "they" say that a modern CSPRNG can generate essentially infinite, random-looking noise from like a 256-bit seed-o-randomness. This device would be a great seed, on boot for example. It's also highly reliable because it simply cannot be hacked (although a truly paranoid person would also want to connect an analog oscilloscope and compare the output to what you see on your computer.)
- dahart 11y agoYes, true! Using this project for seeding a software generator is a great use, and that eliminates the point I made above about bandwidth. (As would pre-computing high-quality random number tables.)
