It seems like a device that has a radio antenna inside it has no excuse for ever running out of entropy.

- rbanffy 14y agoMay be a dangerous idea if an attacker gains control of the antenna.
- mistercow 14y agoIn order to exercise any control whatsoever over radio noise, the attacker would have to have exceptional control over your surrounding environment. And if you're sampling at a high enough frequency, the attacker isn't going to be able to control the noise unless broadcasting it very near you. And even under those circumstances, there will always be some outside noise that they couldn't eliminate.

- mistercow 14y agoThe capacitive sensor for the touch screen probably also pulls in a lot of noise that could be used.
