📰 Linux Kernel Begins Phasing Out the crypto_rng Layer to Simplify Random Number Generation

by George WhittakerLinux kernel developers are moving forward with plans to remove the crypto_rng API layer, a long-standing component of the kernel's cryptographic subsystem. The proposed change is part of a broader effort to simplify the kernel's internal architecture by eliminating redundant code paths and encouraging developers to rely on the kernel's modern random number generation interfaces instead.
