Recommendations for Randomness in the Operating System, or How to Keep Evil Children out of Your Pool and Other Random Facts

Wednesday, May 20, 2015 - 9:00am-9:30am
Authors: 

Henry Corrigan-Gibbs and Suman Jana, Stanford University

Abstract: 

Common misconceptions about randomness underlie the design and implementation of randomness sources in popular operating systems. We debunk these fallacies with a survey of the “realities of randomness” and derive a number of new architectural principles for OS randomness subsystems.
