Package: jitterentropy-rngd Version: 1.2.8-3 Architecture: amd64 Maintainer: Luca Boccassi Installed-Size: 82 Pre-Depends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.54~) Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34) Section: utils Priority: optional Homepage: https://www.chronox.de/jent.html Description: Jitter RNG Daemon Using the Jitter RNG core, the rngd provides an entropy source that feeds into the Linux /dev/random device if its entropy runs low. It updates the /dev/random entropy estimator such that the newly provided entropy unblocks /dev/random. . The seeding of /dev/random also ensures that /dev/urandom benefits from entropy. Especially during boot time, when the entropy of Linux is low, the Jitter RNGd provides a source of sufficient entropy.
