Description-en: BitBabbler hardware TRNG and kernel entropy source support
This package provides supporting software for the BitBabbler true random
number generator hardware. It includes:
.
- The seedd daemon for running continuous quality and health checks on
the active devices and the stream of entropy that they provide, and
for seeding the OS kernel entropy pool on demand.
- Monitoring tools for short and long term analysis, and alerting of
anomalies in both the BitBabbler output and the kernel /dev/random
and /dev/urandom output.
- Admin tools for real-time inspection of the short and long term
quality metrics.
.
You will need to install libjson-xs-perl if you wish to use the munin-node
script for continuous graphing and monitoring of device performance.
.
You will need to install libvirt-clients if you want hotplug support for
adding devices to libvirt managed virtual machines.
