I know that during generation of the key will be asked for moving mouse or some other actions to create enough entropy. However could I use a specific source to create entropy for key generation? Like only mouse or keyboard.
As Stefan wrote, try haveged. Or: if your CPU has "RDRAND" (i.e. grep rdrand /proc/cpuinfo) it contains Intel's hardware RNG. Which you have to trust, as it's a proprietary feature of a big player. But Linux's entropy gathering mixes its output with other sources of randomness, Then there are http://www.bitbabbler.org and http://ubld.it/products/truerng-hardware-random-number-generator/ as hardware random number generators. Both are worth their money IMO. --jc -- Doctorow's Law: Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
