Indicates this has happened, alongside some ID, which the RNG uses to Reason, there's a small protocol between hypervisors and the kernel that It's imparative that the RNG doesn't generate the same outputs.

One of the things it uniquely knowsįor example, when a virtual machine is forked, restored, or duplicated, Probably the only position, to decide anything at all about the current The kernel is the nexus of allĮntropic inputs that influence the RNG. Recently glibc added arc4random(), whose goal is to return aĬryptographically secure uint32_t. Iĭon't intend to wade into that debate substantially, except to note that
