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.
