Description Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2011-01-05 04:36:32 UTC

Spec URL: http://ivazquez.fedorapeople.org/packages/audio-entropyd/audio-entropyd.spec
SRPM URL: http://ivazquez.fedorapeople.org/packages/audio-entropyd/audio-entropyd-2.0.1-1.src.rpm
Description: This program feeds the /dev/random device with entropy-data read from an audio device. The audio-data is not copied as is but first 'de-biased' and analysed to determine how much bits of entropy is in it. This program is usefull for systems doing lots of cryptographic stuff like VPN endpoints or GPG clients; it helps preventing that the /dev/random device gets depleted and blocks reads.
