Ask HN: Opinions on public-key-quality test services?

1 pointsby ribasushiabout 8 years ago
I recently learned of the existence of https:&#x2F;&#x2F;keytester.cryptosense.com which seems to implement a number of clever algorithms against a preexisting dataset to attest whether a keypair &quot;looks random enough&quot;. I do not have any crypto-expertise to speak of, and was wondering whether receiving a &quot;your key is probably ok&quot; actually means anything.<p>Can someone with the know-how weigh in on how practical this kind of checks are, and whether there are other similar services? Thank you!
