Sat Sep 14 13:58:57 UTC 2013 <jurov> ;;later tell mircea_popescu "is there some way to make a website where people can put in their pgp keys and they get tested for entropy quality/statistical weakness ?" nope, except for few debianlike-pathological cases.
Sat Sep 14 07:18:36 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform is there some way to make a website where people can put in their pgp keys and they get tested for entropy quality/statistical weakness ?
Wed Sep 11 04:27:11 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> it's basically a shade under 13 bits of entropy per word.
Sat Sep 07 13:23:51 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> The streams are also exclusive-ORed together and that stream's entropy is estimated in the same manner. If the raw streams appear to have severely reduced entropy then it indicates a fault in that generator, if the third stream has low entropy then it indicates that the generators have correlated and are not independently gathering entropy.

Sat Sep 07 13:18:36 UTC 2013 <pankkake> I tried a thing to make audio an source of entropy, but couldn't get it to work
Sat Sep 07 13:17:02 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> "The Entropy Key contains two high-quality noise generators, and an ARM Cortex CPU that actively measures, checks and confirms all generated random numbers"
Sat Sep 07 13:14:49 UTC 2013 <pankkake> "Please note that there is a very long waiting period for Entropy Keys at the moment." oh well…
Fri Jun 28 21:48:05 UTC 2013 <jcpham> entropy isn't what it used to be.
Tue May 14 02:00:16 UTC 2013 <optimator> but I agree I like my own entropy over someone else's - I like my own brand :)
Wed May 08 01:57:49 UTC 2013 <thestringpuller> Might be the entropy atm
Thu May 02 17:50:02 UTC 2013 <imsaguy> whenever my entropy pool is empty, I just pipe in 0
Thu May 02 17:39:44 UTC 2013 <davout> it pregenerates the addies, so it eats entropy when you refill the pool
Thu May 02 17:38:59 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> how exactly does it use the entropy or wtf does it do ?
Tue Apr 30 18:04:43 UTC 2013 <Framedragger> in the entropy way, too..
Fri Apr 26 19:29:42 UTC 2013 <benkay> if we write it to minimize entropy, that would be cool
