Greetings, following the answer on thread on the HAVEGE algorithm as an additional entropy source, at GlobaLeaks Project we are evaluating whenever not to add also "rngd" that's said to be able to use other "hardware entropy source" chipset ( Intel/AMD/VIA), available on the motherboard (Target OS: Linux)
I'd like to ask a couple of questions: - Will "haveged" and "rngd" works well together in additionally feeding the entropy pool, or they will conflict somehow? - Isn't Linux Kernel already using the internal cryptographic chip on it's own, if available? The GlobaLeaks target is to avoid requiring any additional hardware to maintain the deployment process simple and the technical requirements cheap, so we're not focusing on external entropy source. That entropy improvement is going to be used for the already existing PGP operations done on files. -- Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) HERMES - Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights http://logioshermes.org - http://globaleaks.org - http://tor2web.org
