* Package name : libjitterentropy Version : 3.6.3 Upstream Contact: Stephan Mueller <smuel...@chronox.de> * URL : https://www.chronox.de/jent/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C Description : The Jitter Entropy library provides a noise source using the CPU execution timing jitter. The Jitter RNG provides a noise source using the CPU execution timing jitter. It does not depend on any system resource other than a high-resolution time stamp. It is a small-scale, yet fast entropy source that is viable in almost all environments and on a lot of CPU architectures. The implementation of the Jitter RNG is independent of any operating system. As such, it could even run on baremetal without any operating system. - The Jitter RNG daemon is currently a debian package, but the Jitter Userspace RNG library (this library) is not. - This library is needed to link with OpenSSL and GnuTLS to enable a userspace RNG that is high quality enough for FIPS certification. - This package will be maintained by the FIPS certification team at Canonical. - A sponsor is needed.
