I am working on a project that uses encryption and I need a real random number. Rather than buy hardware for hundreds of Macintoshes, I would like to ask the user for a password, and measure the time to respond to the prompt. This time interval would be used as a seed for the random number generator. Does anyone have any code to do this? (Think C preferred). I could use the time-of-day clock to get a seed, but this isn't as secure. Send E-Mail. Thanks in advance, gang. -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
