Well rather than modify OpenSSL to use named pipes, I was considering
writing a simple socket daemon, which would hand out entropy data obtained
from Yarrow. Any better ideas?
Also, is anyone aware of an EGD that works with hardware noise generators?
I'm also very interested in this.
Perhaps much of the same source of this daemon could be used to implemenent
Yarrow or hardware noise.
