- How does the Linux kernel deal with entropy? - Do the lab experiment of extracting entropy from the phone book. Use Mats' extractor of letters module 29. - Use min-entropy to evaluate quality. - Use the tests from the slides: min-entropy and chi-square. - Use standards NIST SP 800-90B and NIST SP 800-22A and DIEHARD and DIEHARDER. - Check cryptographic libraries. - Compare to the hash-function based version. - Compare to the XOR approach. - Explore with tests /dev/random and /dev/urandom. Particularly form the perspective Mats pointed out. - Test PRNGs. - Try and test the von Neumann trick.
