ENTROPYNOTE

Should an informative note mention that entropy is expected?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
Raised by:

Opened on:

Description:
Informative note that the PRNG may not have enough entropy, and should fail (with error code) if the entropy is insufficient.

However, it is unlikely we can enforce this failure. Should we also mention the error code?
