Description

System entropy can be supplemented by a daemon that feeds randomness from CPU timing jitter.

It is useful on systems where administrators want an additional random source for cryptographic operations and early boot availability. Randomness services affect security assumptions, so use distribution guidance and avoid mixing untrusted entropy configurations.

How to run
