<p>Does the entropy, when generating ECC keys on Mojave, get taken from /dev/urandom? or does GPG use it's on CSPRNG?</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>gpg is using /dev/random on macOS. For further details, this question is best asked at the <a href="https://gnupg.org/documentation/mailing-lists.html">gnupg users mailling list</a>.</p>
<p>All the best,<br>
