Dan Moschuk	d65b167028	Address the concerns of the ``randomness'' of the initial PRNG. Now, we use bits from /dev/random to stir the S-box. Also add an internal counter to keep the S-box stirred on a regular basis. Reviewed by: msmith	1999-11-28 23:39:49 +00:00
Dan Moschuk	ee3fd60126	Introduce OpenBSD-like Random PIDs. Controlled by a sysctl knob (kern.randompid), which is currently defaulted off. Use ARC4 (RC4) for our random number generation, which will not get me executed for violating crypto laws; a Good Thing(tm). Reviewed and Approved by: bde, imp	1999-11-28 17:51:09 +00:00

Address the concerns of the ``randomness'' of the initial PRNG. Now, we

use bits from /dev/random to stir the S-box.  Also add an internal counter to
keep the S-box stirred on a regular basis.
