NIST Random Beacon
How susceptible would this be to government influence?<p>NIST have a long history of positive work in the security field, so they have that in their favour. They also publish the &quot;hash of the previous value to chain the sequence of values together&quot;, so presumably someone could record all of the values and test them for randomness ... but still, if this became the default source for random number generators in operating systems everywhere, it would present a very attractive target.
