Haveged 1.3

Posted Oct 25, 2011

Site issihosts.com

haveged is a daemon that feeds the /dev/random pool on Linux using an adaptation of the HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion algorithm invented at IRISA. The algorithm is self-tuning on machines with cpuid support, and has been tested in both 32-bit and 64-bit environments. The tarball uses the GNU build mechanism, and includes self test targets and a spec file for those who want to build an RPM.

Changes: haveged has been reorganized to allow its collection mechanism to be better accessed directly through the file system. This reorganization includes the option to suppress the daemon interface in the build for circumstances where /dev/random is unavailable or its use is inappropriate. This also means that haveged can now be built and used on non-Linux systems.
