&#x27;Entropy doesn&#x27;t get depleted&#x27; seems to be something that I have read in many places yet the Linux kernel dev doesn&#x27;t seem to focus too much on that. Any reason for them missing the point?<p>It seems you would want to slowly change&#x2F;update the entropy pool to protect against compromise. So can there be a worst-case situation (if you don&#x27;t block - for the different reason) that your entropy pool is not updating fast enough to recover from compromise. Or the pool update requires so little entropy (compared to what linux is doing with kind of refilling it) that its almost impossible for that to matter?
