The use-cases Klein explored need both a CS-PRNG and more bits, IIRC. Security experts should correct amateur-me if I'm mistaken. > > .replace( /1]/gm, '1)' ) ? Right. Reading more of Amit Klein's papers, the rounding to IEEE double also seems problematic. Again, I'm not the crypto-droid you are looking for. /be
