Detailed Description

This is a plugin interface for the customer of the ICrypto interface to enhance the built in entropy gathering used to generate symetric keys.

The P6R Crypto component provides an implementation of this interface that generates cryptographically strong entropy. The implementation is specific to the operating system in use.

A 3rd party can implement and provide their own entropy implementation by implementing this interface in their component.
