Fri Jul 03 01:53:29 UTC 2015 <decimation> why not build physical source of entropy

Sat Jun 27 03:04:16 UTC 2015 <decimation> yeah I was about to ask where the entropy for the rng comes from
Thu Jun 25 07:11:41 UTC 2015 <fromphuctor> I'm mainly trying to determine if I have generated a key with bad entropy leading to bad primes meaning easy factorability
Fri Jun 19 03:41:29 UTC 2015 <BingoBoingo> danielpbarron: Block height is always going to to a rough measure of time due to entropy. Could make a great system for a calendar, poor for slicing up a day though
Fri Jun 19 03:36:34 UTC 2015 <BingoBoingo> "coins" have insufficient entropy to be useful as a precision measure of time at all.
Sat Jun 13 22:07:13 UTC 2015 <funkenstein_> i don't mac, but methinks you can add a couple special chars without losing entropy

Wed Jun 10 19:05:52 UTC 2015 <assbot> Logged on 10-06-2015 18:43:12; mircea_popescu: HOPE was last weekend (I didn't go) and finally the design specification has been posted along with the audited code. It appears that my initial concerns were warranted, each key is generated directly from the user's pass-phrase with no salt, thus leaving the true amount of entropy in the key generation process highly unknown.

Wed Jun 10 18:43:10 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> the sole source for entropy in the ECC key generation. At the time of the debate, Nadim suggested I wait until the big unveiling at HOPE to pass judgement as he had some research into secure human-generated pass-phrases that he was going to share.
Wed Jun 10 17:22:09 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> because there are two kinds of 'entropy' here
Wed Jun 10 17:21:57 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> i would also like to point out that framing the question of key quality in terms of 'bits of entropy' is slightly misleading
Wed Jun 10 17:07:13 UTC 2015 <ascii_field> i can 'reduce entropy' of mircea_popescu's pgp key by telling that the factors are odd. what of it.
Wed Jun 10 17:06:49 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> and the argument here isn't about "guessing", it's about reducing entropy.
