Hello,
In the documentation it is written: "The pseudo-random number generator
must be seeded prior to calling RSA_generate_key_ex()".
After reading the documentation in
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Random_Numbers and investigating the
source code, it seems that the seeding is in fact done automatically
from /dev/random in systems that have it. Also, when examining the
source code of apps/genrsa.c there does not seem to be any explicit
seeding either.
Do I still need to explicitly seed before calling RSA_generate_key_ex?
Best
Andres
