https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222807 --- Comment #1 from W. Dean Freeman <badfilemagic@gmail.com> --- Created attachment 186933 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=186933&action=edit patch to increase the min-entropy Makes sure that we only feed the first 8-12 bytes of the harvest_event hash since otherwise we are including predictable/repeat bytes which decrease min-entropy when measured per guidance from US NIST in SP800-90B -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
