I still have a massive problem with the claims that the "Jitter" RNG
provides any amount of entropy.  Just because you and I might not be
able to analyze it doesn't mean that somebody else couldn't.  After
all, DUAL-EC DRNG was very complicated and hard to analyze.  So would
be something like

   AES(NSA_KEY, COUNTER++)

Very hard to analyze indeed.  Shall we run statistical tests?  They'll
pass with flying colors.

Secure?  Not so much.
