Most physical sources that I'm aware of don't have this sort > of issue. But some pseudo-RNGs do. So this looks a little worrisome. Nothing for "how". If a RNG was actually a pseudo-RNG, does anything a driver should do? Any future plan to select one RNG from multiple sources based on randomness grade? --- Atsushi Nemoto
