❓ More details about random_seed
#565
Comments
@skywinder , I looked into this some.
See also mentions of random_seed at this gnupg tutorial The random_seed file is intended to be unique for each user (which is why it should not be checked into git), and stores entropy data for use in the next encryption, after which is it altered.
Let me know if you have any more questions, and if you think the docs need updating, we'd be happy to accept a PR that improves the documentation. |
