True randomness and pseudo-randomness – A Secret to Share

3.7.3 True randomness and pseudo-randomness Modern algorithms such as Yarrow [99] or Fortuna (see chapter 10 of [65]) generate secret keys for use in cryptographic algorithms and protocols by accumulating entropy from several True Random Number Generators (TRNGs) and combining it using hash functions (see Chapter 11, Hash Functions and Message Authentication Codes) and block […]
