How do ESP32s get boot entropy when RNG, radio bursts, and SRAM are all shaky, and does an 'entropy capsule' help cold starts?

Paper on self-tuning ring-oscillator TRNGs and long-term stability, with NIST tests, because entropy still needs babysitting.

Randomness turns out to be doing actual work: deterministic adaptive query answering dies after ~o(n) queries in the random-oracle model.

How do mouse-movement entropy collectors differ? A gist comparing browser sampling, KeePass, PuTTY, VeraCrypt, and their mixers.

Dithered Gaussian DP keeps Gaussian guarantees while discretizing outputs, cutting randomness needs and floating-point leakage.

Can you get a robust DVRF in an async network without the usual liveness drama? This paper claims yes, via FROST and ROAST.

Quantum lazy sampling, for any subgroup of U(N): path-recording oracles and a commutant-based way to compare them.

Audits finite public-randomness transcripts under exact uniform-without-replacement, and shows marginal tests miss joint bias.

Rackable QRNG spits 4+ Gbit/s from vacuum fluctuations, because apparently entropy now needs a server rack.

Apple Podcasts episode with Yevgeniy Dodis on messaging, RNGs, watermarking, hashes, and fuzzy extractors. Cryptography: the gift.

Repo mapping ENISA EUCC RNG requirements to section numbers, plus host RNG posture checks and a critique of §7.1 tests.
