-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi list,
First sorry if this is out of scope for this maillist, I just joined so I don't really know :) I have some problem with entropy on a server where I need to generate a bunch of asymetric keypairs using gpg. Since I would like to do some generation automatically I cant really do mouse movement or random keystrokes, so thats why I instinctively thought about and hardware rng. I know there is a option of making keys with weak entropy this is not an option for me. So, I recently bought a vpn1401 card just cause of the rng on the card. I'm currently running linux, ubuntu to be specific and there seems to be support for the rng in the kernel and the card is recognized while doing a lspci, however I'm a bit confused how I should get the rng to "feed" /dev/random (afaik thats what gpg use). I did take a look at rng-tools/utils which supposedly should do this but seems to be for specific cards/mobos ? Any pointers would be awesome.
