Description Marco Schinkel 2013-08-23 13:08:04 UTC 
csrng seems to have the best of all random number generators in one daemon.

See the project website for a summary:
http://code.google.com/p/csrng/

Especially it not only uses HAVEGE but also has runtime verification for the generated random data.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge -s csrng
3. Cry all night.


Expected Results:  
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge csrng
3. Be pseudorandomly happy.
