The amount of entropy you can recover from the 'random' values from the sram is going to depend on things like temperature, supply voltage, the process used to make the things, also srams are not random at all they do have a bias, its a very old idea and not a very good one.
For true random seeds for your pseudo-random number generator you need a true random source like radioactive decay, diode shot noise etc. |
