Hello,
I would like to bring up an idea for the bypass of the native kerb
yarrow impl and allow appls to use an alternative sources of
randomness when is it desirable. The potential beneficiaries of this
option are mobile devices that want to use the single source of
randomness and systems that already use yarrow and are forced to
duplicate an effort in kerb framework.
Two approaches are possible: not build krb yarrow at all or bypass it
at the run time. In any case the native kerberos yarrow impl must be
default prng.
Opinions, ideas, comcerns?
Thanks,
Zhanna
