[Cryptech Core] deeper entropy analysis

[Fredrik Thulin]

Hi all

Some time ago I was wildly confused by my DMA based entropy sources would 
prefer alternating bit patterns over repeating ones, as I'm sure you've seen 
on the tech list.

I asked someone with considerably more knowledgeable than me about how one 
could perhaps analyse the output to gain insights into how this could be. That 
person did not have time to contribute to the problem, but he suggested we 
could perhaps involve this guy (for paid work)

I haven't talked with him at all, but while I think we can be confident that 
our TRNG will output excellent random data, if we want to be as confident about 
the entropy I think we will need help from someone with higher mathematical 
skills than I possess  - possibly that guy.

If you think it is a good idea then maybe I can try to meet with him for lunch 
or something and see if he is interested and see what he could do for us?
