Comment on Cache Attacks on CTR_DRBGparent

Yeah like RDRAND, but not compromised :P.

Suddenly after I read what you typed about RDRAND it clicked to me - you must never fully trust the hardware. Even if you TRUST the HW RNG, what is the harm of combining it into a broader RNG (assuming you know what you are doing).

Thanks for your time.
