I still have a massive problem with the claims that the "Jitter" RNG provides any amount of entropy. Just because you and I might not be able to analyze it doesn't mean that somebody else couldn't. After all, DUAL-EC DRNG was very complicated and hard to analyze. So would be something like
AES(NSA_KEY, COUNTER++)
Very hard to analyze indeed. Shall we run statistical tests? They'll pass with flying colors.
Secure? Not so much.
