Hello,

I have previously been pointed to using /dev/random as described in random (4), but I am too stupid to find any way of opening it from kernel space.

Could someone show me a pointer?

The code for encrypted swap in xnu-792.18.15/osfmk/vm/vm_pageout.c just casts calls to libkern's random() into a char[] buffer. The security properties of random() aren't guaranteed I guess, though the implementation is calling read_random() internally.
