I'm pretty sure LUKS or dm-crypt has no random number generation code of its own at all; it's just not its job. > If we need to use some other DRBG, would it be pretty simple to use that > Instead of /dev/random or /dev/urandom? Probably; I'd suspect if you grep the source code for /dev/u?random you will find the list of places you need to change. If you do, at least consider making the change generic enough to read from a random number device name supplied on the command line and submit that as a patch. > This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are proprietary and > intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they > are addressed.

How nice. Please stop sending garbage like this when you post to public, publicly archived, mailing lists. To within experimental error, nobody here cares about it. The fact that it is easily twice as long as the _relevant_ content of your post doesn't help. Not making your e-mail four times the size it needs to be by sending along a HTML copy would also be courteous. -- Michael Kjörling • https://michael.kjorling.se • michael@xxxxxxxxxxx “People who think they know everything really annoy those of us who know we don’t.” (Bjarne Stroustrup) _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
