The answer for VMs is guest OS drivers that taps into the host's system RNG (with support for doing so in the VM software).

- nickpsecurity 10y agoExactly. Having a root, high-quality RNG whose output can be input into other systems directly or seeding a CRNG is a classic, design pattern of mine. It can be used for dedicated, simple machines too predictable for TRNG (eg RTOS's), virtual machines, and probably other things I haven't thought of.
- geofft 10y agoDo the common VM hosting services (AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.) offer such a thing? Unfortunately, a superstitious RNG is more useful to a production service than a theoretical one.
