Tue Mar 27 13:52:13 UTC 2018 <adlai> in one case, you're riding trivial gradients; in the other, you're fucking with tidal entropy
Tue Mar 27 13:49:55 UTC 2018 <adlai> at worst, you've never even heard of entropy
Wed Mar 29 14:58:34 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> ( nic as a source of entropy has obvious problems )
Wed Mar 29 14:56:22 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> no entropy at all
Wed Mar 29 14:56:01 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> ( it is actually a fairly common situation on small embedded gadgets, where there is no keyboard or disk entropy )
Wed Mar 29 14:55:00 UTC 2017 <kakobrekla> anyway re question 'what distro' had 0 entropy_avail ... turns out its not distro depended but a combo of non x86 hw and 4.x kernel
Tue Mar 28 09:22:13 UTC 2017 <pankkake> one program can easily drain the entropy
Tue Mar 28 09:16:11 UTC 2017 <assbot> haveged - a simple entropy daemon ... ( http://bit.ly/2npQdVf )
Tue Mar 28 09:07:53 UTC 2017 <kakobrekla> cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
Wed Jan 04 16:32:29 UTC 2017 <asciilifeform> likewise the user can easily verify that the thing does not attempt to produce output if the analogue entropy is disconnected
Tue Jan 03 07:42:49 UTC 2017 <assbot> GitHub - dxa4481/truffleHog: Searches through git repositories for high entropy strings, digging deep into commit history ... ( http://bit.ly/2iDjKL5 )
Thu Dec 29 22:23:12 UTC 2016 <jurov> but these schmucks ... slipping the notion that fuzzing/satsolving prng algorithm for "entropy loss" is "technical assurance"
Sat Dec 17 20:40:43 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> but at the same time it is the only, afaik, hardware rng in the world that 1) comes apart into testable pieces 2) doesn't hash, or otherwise lie about the entropy
Sat Dec 03 08:23:45 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> "In short : without entropy, you don't exist, because without entropy -- there is no you []" interesting viewpoint. Perhaps a faraday cage helps too.
Sat Dec 03 08:19:58 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> but you point that out already basically, machine generated entropy is a sin, etc.
Sat Dec 03 08:19:43 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> "The mathematical entropy of the digits of Pi is very high by any measure" well it is zero by Martin-L?f measure
Thu Oct 27 19:09:48 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> i create and hold all keys using entropy i provide
Thu Oct 27 19:02:38 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> correct me if i'm wrong, the complaint was the the implementation of P2SH provided not enough entropy per address
Thu Sep 29 14:41:01 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=29-09-2016#1455712 << milking cpu load for entropy is egregiously idiotic, i did not find it worthy of comment then or now.
Thu Sep 08 15:05:50 UTC 2016 <funkenstein_> "We have presented an ultrafast quantum entropy source on a photonic integrated circuit (QES-PIC) for use in quantum random number generation (QRNG). The resulting device shows high performance, including bit rate, degree of randomness (low correlation values), and stability, in a miniaturized geometry that also integrates the receiver. "
