Description

Entropy generation can be started during early boot through haveged support in the initramfs. Administrators use this hook when cryptographic operations need more random data before the main system is running.

It is an early-boot entropy hook, not a complete randomness audit. Check whether the target system still needs haveged with its kernel and hardware.
