You probably shouldn't trust this unless you can validate the randomness of the output with tests like Diehard or others http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/toolkit/

- verandaguy 11y agoWhile it's definitely a good idea to run it through something like Diehard, it's interesting to note that [this principle has already been the subject of a lot of research](https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2014/ols2014-mueller.pdf https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2014/ols2014-mueller.pdf) (granted, the CPU time jitter uses time noise as an entropy source where the post uses electrical signal noise, but it's a fairly similar principle all the same).
