(description
|

"haveged generates an unpredictable stream of random numbers for use by
|
||||
Linux's @file{/dev/random} and @file{/dev/urandom} devices. The kernel's
|
||||
standard mechanisms for filling the entropy pool may not be sufficient for
|
||||
systems with high needs or limited user interaction, such as headless servers.
|
||||
@command{haveged} runs as a privileged daemon, harvesting randomness from the
|
||||
indirect effects of hardware events on hidden processor state using the HArdware
|
||||
Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion (HAVEGE) algorithm. It tunes itself to
|
||||
its environment and provides the same built-in test suite for the output stream
|
||||
as used on certified hardware security devices.")
