BTW, a 128 bit RSA key is pretty useless except for learning how to

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware that 128bit RSA isn't very powerful, but in the way I was planning to use it, it didn't need to be. I'm just sending a single random string for verification purposes. I actually realized that RSA wasn't even necessary and just went with some simple hashing instead, but I'm still curious about the key generation time.
Is there any documentation on how to set up the RNG? What do I need to call? gcry_fast_random_poll()? I couldn't find anything else that looked like an initialization function.
