Description: "daemon to use a Hardware RNG (classic version)\n The rngd daemon acts\
\ as a bridge between a Hardware RNG (random\n number generator), such as the\
\ ones in some Intel/AMD/VIA chipsets,\n and the kernel\u2019s PRNG (pseudo-random\
\ number generator).\n .\n It tests the data received from the HWRNG using the\
\ FIPS 140-2 (2002-10-10)\n tests to verify that it is indeed random then feeds\
\ the random data to the\n kernel entropy pool.\n .\n This increases the bandwidth\
\ of the /dev/random device, from a source\n that does not depend on outside activity.\
\ It may also improve the\n quality (entropy) of the randomness of /dev/random.\n\
\ .\n An HWRNG kernel module such as hw_random, or some other source of true\n\
\ entropy that is accessible as a device or fifo, is required to use this\n package.\
\ Securely tunneling entropy over the network and feeding it to\n rngd is also\
\ possible.\n .\n This is an unofficial version of rng-tools (as classically shipped\
\ by\n Debian up to and including release 10 \u201Cbuster\u201D), version 2, extensively\n\
\ modified to add multithreading and a lot of new functionality. However,\n most\
\ users of newer or high-bandwidth HWRNGs might wish to install the\n latest version\
\ of upstream rng-tools (packaged as rng-tools5) instead;\n that package offers\
\ more performant support for those, even if it lacks\n the new functionality\
\ from this version."
