Using high-quality entropy sources for CSPRNG seeding is crucial for security.
Entropy Source Evaluation Description
Poorly seeding a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) can lead to security vulnerabilities. It is crucial to use high-quality entropy sources like /dev/random instead of /dev/urandom for generating long-lived keys.
