Re: TRNG (was: Specifying entropy source)

On the topic of open source RNG, I own the OneRNG and have attempted to use it with gpg but failed in the past. I never made another attempt. OneRNG was a kickstarter crowd funding campaign and is now available from their webshop. It's supposed to be an open source RNG but I'm not qualified to sp

Hello, I work for my own TRNG implementation. I realized that the point is: We should collectively control things so that none can control a sequence of random bytes. --- (*) Second "control" in (*) includes guessing, predicting, or knowing, not only manipulating directly/indirectly.

Hi, i run also into the same problem. At the end, it seems the rng-tools are not so recommended. So i went with haveged because of the algorithm it uses. Haveged runs as a background daemon and won't bother you in the future. I know a good hosting provider where it is preinstalled and a good linux

I'm a novice user but since nobody else has replied. Have you tried installing haveged and starting the service? It generates entropy. First link on Google. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-setup-additional-entropy-for-cloud-servers-using-haveged 2016-11-15 11:57 GMT+01:00

Hi, 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. If yes how it can be done? Thank you. With kind regards, Andrey
