Available Packages
Name : haveged
Version : 1.9.18
Release : 1.fc34
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 74 k
Source : haveged-1.9.18-1.fc34.src.rpm
Repository : updates
Summary : A Linux entropy source using the HAVEGE algorithm
URL : https://github.com/jirka-h/haveged
License : GPLv3+
Description : A Linux entropy source using the HAVEGE algorithm
:
: Haveged is a user space entropy daemon which is not dependent upon the
: standard mechanisms for harvesting randomness for the system entropy
: pool. This is important in systems with high entropy needs or limited
: user interaction (e.g. headless servers).
:
: Haveged uses HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion)
: to maintain a 1M pool of random bytes used to fill /dev/random
: whenever the supply of random bits in /dev/random falls below the low
: water mark of the device. The principle inputs to haveged are the
: sizes of the processor instruction and data caches used to setup the
: HAVEGE collector. The haveged default is a 4kb data cache and a 16kb
: instruction cache. On machines with a cpuid instruction, haveged will
: attempt to select appropriate values from internal tables.
