[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Well, it's an fTPM, aka software, and AFAIK, no software can truly have a random RNG. So it might be very good pseudo random at best. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago It could be only mostly firmware, with a hardware RNG. If not, and it uses a CSPRNG, then I don't see much point in using it at all. Linux already has its own CSPRNG. permalink fedilink source parent
