Hellorecently i heared about "Haveged", a user-space daemon designed to provide additional entropie for Linux (http://www.issihosts.com/haveged/). I wonder if it could be a smart idea to install it when deploying crypto systems like Djigzo? From what i understand the impact on low "strong" entropie (/dev/random starvation) is not that bad for S/MIME as the only weak point will be the random symetric key used for encryption, signing should not be affected. So additional entropie would be of help when using the Djigzo built-in CA or when doing a somewhat bigger share of mail encryption, no?
Would be interesting to here from security aware people about this topic ;-) Thanks Andreas
