How does the HAVEGE method (or rather, the specific adaption of it as used in haveged) for generating randomness from timing differ from that of the Jitter Entropy method? Is there any research showing any major difference between their a… Continue reading Comparing HAVEGE and Jitter Entropy algorithms
Currently I am using haveged on my server as source of entropy.
My Server is used as KVM hypervisor, to run virtual machines.
I did not use haveged at the beginning, and I noticed the VMs were draining the entropy pool from… Continue reading using HW random number generator as source of entropy
Take an example embedded system:
Microprocessor
Flash memory
SDRAM
There is no UI and no network connection.
Can the CPU timing jitter that is used by haveged provide adequate true entropy to seed /dev/urandom?
