It's a shame http://entropykey.co.uk is no longer in business. I was able to procure 5 entropy keys just before they folded, and they're awesome. All the hardware specifications were open, as well as the userspace software. I ended up creating an entropy server with these keys, of which I feed all my VM entropy pools with. You can see it at http://hundun.ae.st. I'm currently working on a program to feed the random data found from an RTL-SDR dongle into the entropy pool. Then just tune to an empty frequency, and let atmospheric noise rule. At any event, I'm in agreeance: hardware true random number generators > *. -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o
