Summary : Entropy Gathering Daemon
URL : http://egd.sourceforge.net/
License : GPL+ or MIT
Description : EGD is an Entropy Gathering Daemon meant to be used on systems that can run GPG
: but which don't have a convenient (or reliable) source of random bits. It is a
: regular user-space program that sits around, running programs like 'w' and
: 'last' and 'vmstat', collecting the randomness (or at least the
: unpredictability) inherent in the output of these system statistics programs
: when used on a reasonably busy system. It slowly stirs the output of these
: gathering programs into a pool of entropy, much like the linux kernel device,
: and allows other programs to read out random bits from this pool.
