We know how to build secure RNGs in software. The one and only problem we have is that not everyone is using them.

- hannob 10y agoWe have plenty of entropy sources. The only situation where we have a problem with that is the so-called early-boot-time-entropy. However hardware RNGs don't solve that either, because, well, they need some kind of initialized OS to access the hardware in order to work.

- Tomte 10y agoAdditionally, software only exhibits systematic failures. Hardware fails in many different, hardly predictable and nigh undiagnosable ways.
