Utilizing the Kernel's CSPRNG Effectively
Utilize the kernel's Cryptographically Secure Pseudorandom Number Generator (CSPRNG), such as FreeBSD's, for generating cryptographic keys. This approach is beneficial because it has access to raw device entropy, guarantees that state is not shared between applications, and ensures that random data is not provided until it has been properly seeded. In the past, userspace CSPRNGs have resulted in numerous failures related to randomness.
