/* Entropy sources for XCA
 *
 * Entropy is a very important topic for key generation.
 *
 * XCA uses the following sources for entropy:
 *
 * 1) During startup
 *    RAND_poll()
 *    The OpenSSL seeding mechanism.
 *    It uses /dev/urandom where possible and the
 *    Screen content on Windows.
 *
 *    If "/dev/random" exists, it will be used for additional
 *    256bit entropy.
 *
 * 2) Before any key or parameter generation a "reseeding"
 *    is done. Some say reseeding is not necessary, but
 *    all say it does not harm.
 *
 *    Entropy by Mouse and keyboard events
 *    main.cpp: bool XcaApplication::eventFilter()
 *    256bit from /dev/urandom (unix/Mac)
 *
 * 3) A .rnd state file in the XCA application directory
 *    is written on exit and read on startup.
 *    After reading it, the file will be erased to avoid replays.
 *
 * 4) When managing a token that supports C_GenerateRandom
 *    and C_SeedRandom, XCA will seed the token and in return
 *    seed himself from the token.
