a good description of how they contribute, under modest work loads: "The Linux Random Number Generator" - https://pthree.org/2014/07/21/the-linux-random-number-generator/ ''' First thing is first- both /dev/random and /dev/urandom are fed data from the same CSPRNG. Let me repeat that, with a bit more emphasis: Both /dev/random and /dev/urandom are fed data from the same CSPRNG... ''' haveged and rngd contribute to both pools, per the discussion re "true random" sources "reseeding" the CSPRNG. best regards, _______________________________________________ Tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev To unsubscribe from this list, send an empty email to [email protected].
