Hello! In a quest to acquire hardware random number generators for seeding /dev/random on servers that lack a built-in entropy source, I'm investigating how random data can be obtained from a security key such as a Nitrokey, Yubikey or a similar device.
RNGD version 6 from https://github.com/nhorman/rng-tools can fetch random data through a PKCS #11 interface, but the two versions of RNGD in Debian seem to lack that ability. Debian has rng-tools5 and rng-tools-debian, but not Neil Horman's version 6. Or am I just failing to find it? SCDrand from https://incenp.org/dvlpt/scdtools.html can also obtain random data from a "smartcard"-compatible device, but I don't find that in Debian either. Does anyone know of another way to obtain random data from devices of this kind? Björn Persson
