No /dev/urandom is a PRNG. /dev/random is a TRNG. Read the code https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/char/random.c?id=272b98c6455f00884f0350f775c5342358ebb73f
The TPM here generates 40Kbits/sec, or 5000 bytes/sec--more than enough for the situation at hand. For various sums on can purchase quantum TRNGs with up to megabits/sec of output. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_hardware_random_number_generators If you are unfamiliar with the 'openssl' code referenced by my *question* please leave it to others to answer.
