(I am a cypto amatuer ) So in Openssl there is the "-rand" option for taking a file containing randomness for the RNG . So I thought taking a pretty big file would make it more secure . So if you use a lets say 2048 bit random binary file form "https://www.random.org" made from cosmeticcosmic noise you would be pretty safe right ? But the problem is that the if I used the file multiple times it is alway the same "random" input so i would have to make the file secret . So It would be better to change like one 0 or 1 in the 2048 bit every time using it right ? But here comes the Question : How much does changinchanging a single charaktercharacter in 201482048 bit affect the randomeness of the Output in the end ? Is it like hashing where the output is completely different after chaningchanging only one bit or will the output be pretty much the same ?

Does the size of a file influence the randomness if used as random input?
