Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      It sure does. But it's just SHA1(0) || SHA1(1) || SHA1(2). It has only a tiny bit of entropy when you know how it is constructed.

      So be careful about how you measure the "entropy" of a bitstream, because there isn't a single good logical or mathematical check for it.

      Actually random things: Radioactive decay, thermal noise, shot noise. Mostly random: keystroke timings, mouse moves. Kinda random: networks.

      Things like CPU registers, interrupt timings, etc. aren't really random, particularly in early-boot scenarios on embedded devices.

      But you know what's great? This (mostly) doesn't matter if you have at least one strong entropy source and a good mixing algorithm.

      A cryptographically secure hash function works wonders for this. For each entropy sample: State = H(State + Entropy).

      You can mix as much non-random, predictable data as you like into this. As long as you have one good source of entropy, it's safe.

      True only as long as the provider of the non-random, predictable data can't see the state. If it can, you're screwed.

      That's only the case when you xor the state. When you append it, it doesn't matter.

      Are you confident in that? Seems to assume lack of certain types of weaknesses in hash.

          For this case I know of no modern cryptographic hash function vulnerable to such a problem.

          So yes, I'm confident, as long as H is selected to be a cryptographically secure hash function. Any SHA2 variant will do nicely.
