On: NIST Randomness Beacon

[dfc]

The OP topic is crypto? Is the OP crypto topic your blanket rejection of anything that comes from NIST or the link with:

           WARNING:
  DO NOT USE BEACON GENERATED
       VALUES AS SECRET
      CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEYS.

Or that because it comes from NIST I should trust it because some unrelated persons have won awards. Let's not forget a likely backdoor that was either consented to, or worse, permitted with extreme incompetence. [0]

Do you work for NIST or NSA? Just curious.
