Accessing the Intel Random Number Generator with CDSA, May 1999
This paper details how applications can access Intel's platform silicon security features
through CDSA. Included is a brief overview of the first Intel platform silicon feature, the
Intel Random Number Generator (RNG), as well as an introduction to the CDSA security framework.
The paper details how independent software vendors (ISVs) can access the Intel RNG security
features through the CDSA architecture, providing ISVs with an easy migration path from existing
software-based solutions.
