I plan on using a key and an encryption-system random key generator to get a
random key, but that key in and of itself isn't suitable for a random seed,
since some bit pairs may not be linearly independent.
So, the obvious answer is to use the key to encrypt something. Any
suggestions on what to encrypt? a constant? some function of the time of
day? hostaddress?
