Description: Library for easier usage of Intel's RdRand instruction.
Fedora Account System Username: jtulak
I'm the author of the library and this is my first Fedora package.
Full Description:
RdRand is an instruction for returning random numbers from an on-chip hardware
random number generator. It's available on Ivy Bridge and Haswell processors
and is
part of the Intel 64 and IA-32 instruction set architectures. The hardware
random
number generator is compliant with security and cryptography standards such as
NIST SP 800-90A, FIPS 140-2 and ANSI X9.82.
This library offers high level functions to fill the buffer with random numbers
using the
various methods and offers the procedures focused on speed and security. There
is
also a user space utility to produce the stream of random numbers.
This package contain a C library for easier usage of the instruction (no need
for using
__asm__, ...) and a simple application for users to generate random numbers.
