1 # Random Source Generator |
|
|
|
2 |
|
|
|
3 ## Goal |
|
|
|
4 |
|
|
|
5 Write a simple frontend for gopher for this randomness source. This can |
|
|
|
6 then be reused everwhere over gopher. |
|
|
|
7 |
|
|
|
8 ## Principle |
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
|
10 On Bitreich there will be a stream of random bits provided by a geiger |
|
|
|
11 counter and other random sources from 20h's home server. This should be |
|
|
|
12 shown to gopher in a standard way, as defined here: |

|
|
|
16 * https://beacon.nist.gov/beacon/2.0/pulse/last |
|
|
|
17 * https://qrng.anu.edu.au/ as source |
|
|
|
18 * https://drand.love/developer/http-api/#public-endpoints |
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 We can monkey-patch |

|
24 to using gophers://. |
|
|
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 ## Hierarchy Prototype |
|
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 gophers://bitreich.org/1/tyche/beacon |
|
|
|
29 gophers://bitreich.org/1/fortuna/beacon |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
|
31 ## Source |
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 On bitreich.org there is: |
|
|
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 /br/random/source/$source/pulse.$index |
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 This should be read out to generate the above structure. |
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 You can generate it on your own: |
|
|
|
40 |
|
|
|
41 dd if=/dev/random of=pulse.$index bs=64 count=1 |
|
|
|
42 |
|
|
|
