* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortuna_(PRNG) (FreeBSD)

* https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-90a/rev-1/f... (NIST)

* https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/char/r... (Linux; I could not find a separate design document as such. Perhaps the best design reference is this block comment at the beginning of the file implementing it)
