According to jitter's author Stephan Mueller, the kernel module has no effect on the quality of entropy injected in /dev/?random (it only handles the kernel DRBG). /dev/?random entropy is only in the domain of the userspace jitternetropy-rngd service which already works for us: Quote from Stephan: "As I tried to outline in the previous email: the /dev/random or /dev/urandom will NOT benefit from the in-kernel Jitter RNG. Only the user space jitterentropy-rngd from user space would inject entropy into /dev/random / / de/urandom. Therefore, I do not think that inserting the jitterentropy KO will help you for your goal." You can close both tickets I guess. Thanks for everyone's input.
