Entropy Broker RNG 1.0

Posted Aug 7, 2012

Authored by Folkert van Heusden | Site vanheusden.com

Entropy Broker is an infrastructure for distributing cryptographically secure random numbers (entropy data) from one or more servers to one or more clients. Entropy Broker allows you to distribute entropy data (random values) to /dev/random devices from other systems (real servers or virtualised systems). It helps preventing that the /dev/random device gets depleted; an empty /dev/random-device can cause programs to hang (waiting for entropy data to become available). This is useful for systems that need to generate encryption keys, run VPN software or run a casino website.

Changes: EGD client now fully implements the EGD protocol. A network protocol fix was implemented.
