Description: |-
infrastructure for distributing random numbers (entropy data)
Entropy Broker is an infrastructure for distributing cryptographically secure
random numbers (entropy data) from one or more servers to one or more clients.
.
It allows you to distribute entropy data (random values) to /dev/random
devices from other systems (real servers or virtualised systems).
It helps preventing that the /dev/random device gets depleted; an empty
/dev/random-device can cause programs to hang (waiting for entropy data to
become available).
.
This is useful for systems that need to generate encryption keys, run VPN
software or run a casino website. Also virtual systems that have no good
sources of entropy like virtual servers (e.g. VMware, XEN and KVM (although
KVM has the virtio_rnd driver)).
.
Entropy Broker is an infrastructure consisting of client-daemons that fill
/dev/random and server-daemons that feed the central entropy broker-server.
The server-daemons can gather random values by measuring timer frequency
noise, analysing noise from a unused audio-device, noise from a video source
(webcam, tv-card) and random values from a real hardware RNG (random number
generator).
