Ho appena generato una nuova coppia di chiavi GPG e gpg visualizza alcuni segni casuali più, meno, maggiore di, minore di e circonflesso. Mi chiedevo sempre cosa significassero. Puoi spiegarmelo?
iblue@nerdpol:~$ gpg --gen-key

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.
