[dsfjdssdfsd] what not to do...

[Stephen Farrell <[e-mail]>]

Hiya,

Looking at the traffic on this list I wondered if it'd
be an idea to try document the things implementers should
not do with (P)RNGs or to generate random (sets of:-)
numbers.

It seems like there's a lot of knowledge on that spread
about and if there was someone was willing and able maybe
an informational RFC about mistakes that have been made
and how implementers can avoid 'em might be useful.

Whatcha think?

Or maybe that'd just generate endless debate and offer
no useful guidance?

Or maybe there's a survey paper out there somewhere
or thesis that already has a load of that material?

Ta,
S.
