[Info-vax] In need of "good enough" randomness sources, anyone wanna help out? (OpenSSL 1.1.1 beta)

[Stephen Hoffman]

FWIW...  Linux cryptographic pseudo-random number generator (CPRNG) 
weaknesses; the details of security and of CPRNGs are harder and more 
complex than might be realized...

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/project-zero/issues/detail?id=1559

What's been discussed in this newsgroup thread is a user-level 
work-around for the lack of a CPRNG and a lack of system-level entropy 
pool and related collection in OpenVMS.
