Reading this story, I was curious about ISAAC, so I posted a link to its webpage in another post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12441451 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12441451), hoping people would give their opinion on it. Do you have experience with ISAAC?
- jrapdx3 10y agoThat's the same link provided in the Tcl wiki. I haven't actually used the ISAAC generator since the urandom is considered reliable. However, urandom is only available on Linux/BSD systems, on Windows alternatives are necessary. From the comments on the ISAAC home page, the ISAAC and ISAAC-64 versions would appear adequate for most uses, but a reader more experienced in CSPRNG analysis might have more information.
