Description Simo Sorce 2019-05-06 14:01:20 UTC
FIPS requires continuous tests of the input to the libraries CSPRNG but the kernel getrandom() (or /dev[u]random) interface does not do it.

Available options is to implement tests in the library or use the kernel AF_ALG DRBG source which wil have these tests implemented in kernel.
