[COPY] --- T2-COPYRIGHT-NOTE-END --- [I] A daemon designed to act as an entropy source [T] The Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon (PRNGD) offers an EGD [T] compatible interface for obtaining random data. It is intented to [T] be used as an entropy source to feed other software, especially [T] software based on OpenSSL. Like EGD, it calls system programs [T] to collect entropy. Unlike EGD, it does not generate a pool [T] of random bits that can be called from other software. Instead, it [T] feeds the bits gathered into the OpenSSL PRNG, from which the [T] "random bits" are obtained when requested. This way, PRNGD is [T] never drained and can never block (unlike EGD), [T] so it is also suitable to seed inetd-started programs. It also [T] features a seed-save file, so that it is immediately usable after [T] system start.
