Mike Silbersack	3a7810bc39	Minor improvements to arc4random(): ... - Decrease reseeding interval from every 64 to every 16384 runs to reduce entropy usage. - Add time based reseeding. (Every 5 minutes.) - Throw away the first 256 words of output as suggested in "Weaknesses in the Key Scheduling Algorithm of RC4."

Mark Murray	4cb1e53914	Recouple arc4random(9) to the entropy device. This works whether the ... entropy device is loaded or not. If the entropy device is NOT loaded, the the quality of perturbations supplied by this will suffer.	2000-12-02 16:23:54 +00:00
John Baldwin	e2059d0bfb	Back out previous revision now that sys/random.h is properly fixed.	2000-09-11 19:34:04 +00:00
John Baldwin	ebbb6afce3	Add #include's of sys/proc.h and sys/param.h to silence a warning.	2000-09-11 05:51:58 +00:00

Dan Moschuk	e6082d1936	In the extremely miniscule chance that read_random returns <= 0, don't try ... and use that return code as a modulus (panics are bad, mmmkay?)	1999-11-29 19:23:35 +00:00
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
