Anytime I see /dev/random mentioned, I like to share a friendly reminder that’s better to use /dev/urandom on Linux except in a few specific cases. More info here.
Worth mentioning though that despite the title mentioning /dev/random specifically the talk covers the underlying RNG implementation that is used for both blocking and nonblocking requests.
Author’s paper on this and a variety of other notes
