Hi,

The Pseudorandom Number Generator specified in Ansi X9.17 used to be one of 
the best PRNGs available if I am correct.  I was just wondering if this is 
still considered to be the case?  Is it widely used in practical situations 
or is there some better implementation available?  What would be the 
advantages/disadvantages of modifying the Ansi X9.17 PRNG to use AES instead 
of 3DES? Is this feasible at all?

Best Regards,
Terence
