network data interrupt latency, inter-keypress timing and disk IO

information to fill an entropy pool. Random numbers are available for

kernel routines and are exported via devices to userland programs.

So far random numbers are used in the following places

<li><h3>Cryptographic Hash Functions</h3>

A Hash Function compresses its input data to a string of

constant size. For a Cryptographic Hash Function it is infeasible to find

constant size. For a Cryptographic Hash Function it is infeasible to find:

<ul>

<li>two inputs which have the same output (collision resistant),

<li>a different input for a given input with the same output

In OpenBSD MD5, SHA1, and RIPEMD-160 are used as Cryptographic Hash Functions,

e.g.

e.g:

Transform should rely only on the keying material.

OpenBSD provides transforms like DES, 3DES, Blowfish and Cast for the

kernel and userland programs, which are used in many places like
