Not sure if this is applicable, but would it also be useful to provide hooks to add extra entropy from the application? Right now I'm thinking about chips/hardware capable of providing good random data that is not dependent on network traffic or time. Are there ways to add more sources to the random generation, preventing that it ever becomes less random? This is something you would want to guarantee for the sake of the stack.

Library is pushed, and the NIST RNG tests pass on everything except 'universal', still investigating.
@alexlawriewood Comments:
1- there are a few warnings here and there. Please fix.
2- Some void function prototypes look like something function()
instead of something function(void)
. This is not accepted, please fix.
Okay, will sort.

Hey @alexlawriewood - libfortuna is about to get into production, and I can't still close this until you enable -Wall in your makefile, fix the warnings, and explicit (void) in the functions prototypes/definitions.
Any idea on the timing for this?
Ciao,
Do I have until next week sometime? Had planned to fix this weekend, but forgot my sister was visiting...

@alexlawriewood ping?
Looks fine, thanks. Closed in e626ec5b43c2a9d81f81fcf5e404be7bb9522212
