Very neat, though it's a pity that the warning about crypto in the lower-right is so hard to notice. I mean, people weren't going to trust NIST on this anyways but if you're going to warn about crypto then it should probably be more prominent.

At least the beacon interface/api page has a warning about not using it for crypto front and center in red underlined italics: https://beacon.nist.gov/home https://beacon.nist.gov/home

If you have an engineer using publicly broadcast random numbers in your cryptography, the problem did not originate in the font size of the "Beware of the Leopard" sign.
