IANAC but any sufficiently secure RNG implementation should be inherently wasteful.

- BenjiWiebe 5y agoIt doesn't need to be inherently wasteful. A reverse-biased diode provides a completely unpredictable source of noise while also taking extremely little power. Or cranking up the sensitivity of a sensor. Or reading the low bit of an ADC. All of these provide good entropy sources without being wasteful.
