Two of the appendices in SP 800-90 provided information on entropy sources and RBG constructions. These topics will be discussed in further detail in SP 800-90B and SP 800-90C, respectively, which are under development. SP 800-90A takes into account the work on RBGs that has been conducted within Accredited Standards Committee X9 since the original publication of SP 800-90. A general list of the changes is provided at the end of Appendix H, and except for some editorial changes, the changes within the document are marked. The document is available at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsDrafts.html. Please send comments to [email-masked] by August 1, 2011, with “SP 800-90A comments” in the subject line.
