Title: Crypto people Post by: AliceWonder on August 04, 2013, 05:22:33 AM If I'm having trouble in Linux getting /dev/random to generate data, is it safe to use the haveged daemon to help generate entropy or is that not a really good idea? With that daemon running, /dev/random works just fine, I just want to make sure I'm not defeating the purpose.

Did I post this in the wrong section? Title: Re: Crypto people Post by: Jaxkr on August 05, 2013, 06:50:56 AM You're not defeating the purpose, however it's good to have multiple sources of entropy. You can use data from /dev/random as one.
