• 00:2700:27, 24 May 2019 diff hist +308 Talk:Fortuna (PRNG) →Size of entropy pools: They're not bounded in terms of entropy collected, but memory size in practice can be limited to the size of a hash algorithm context.
• 00:2400:24, 24 May 2019 diff hist +24 Fortuna (PRNG) →Generator: Derp, Chacha's block is actually 512 bits. Same general idea but do not specify the wrong size.
• 00:1700:17, 24 May 2019 diff hist −1,315 Daniel J. Bernstein Undid revision 898064767 by MureninC (talk) ; Re-remove AES attribution to DJB; openssh uses only DJB ciphers, except oops it also uses AES? This is at best not a useful statement and worst misleading or incorrectly attributing. Tag: Undo

• 17:2017:20, 20 May 2019 diff hist −1,315 Daniel J. Bernstein →Software: Remove false statement — AES ciphers are not his design and are included in OpenSSH minus OpenSSL. I couldn't think of a way to reword that was accurate and seemed useful.

• 17:0917:09, 20 May 2019 diff hist +16 Fortuna (PRNG) →Generator: Correct DNE -> was not popular; Chacha was published in 2008, but apparently was not popular enough to warrant mention in the 2010 book.
• 17:0717:07, 20 May 2019 diff hist −32 Fortuna (PRNG) →Generator: Book was 2010, not 2003.

• 17:5617:56, 17 May 2019 diff hist +402 Fortuna (PRNG) →Generator: Clarify that the statistical problem relates to the use of 128-bit block ciphers; mention Chacha as a widely accepted 256-bit block cipher; mention fast key erasure / forward secrecy as terms of art for the key change protocol
