Filippo Valsorda said nothing about keys. Xe did not mention them at all.

The linked bug report showed errors using OpenSSL to generate keys after resume on an AMD platform. It seemed to indicate RDRAND returning an error code instead of entropy.

Sorry for any confusion.

UUIDs and hash table keys are probably what they meant by "keys".
