Hi, I need to create a moderate amount of v3 keys for loop-aes and wonder how/if the "openssl rand" implementation differs significantly from /dev/random concerning entropy. In case /dev/random and "openssl rand" are somewhat comparable, I would just use the latter to create the keys. However, I certainly don't want to use a /dev/urandom look-alike. Any feedback appreciated. -- left blank, right bald
