Entropy Broker RNG 1.2

Posted Sep 18, 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: This release has full IPv6 support, has bps output fixes, can now retrieve entropy data from smart cards, and has support for multiple broker servers. EGD server/client now supports TCP as well (for better compatibility with EntropyKey). There are fixes for Fedora and Coverity warning fixes.
