jitterentropy rngd feeding entropy to input_pool of Linux RNG
Version jitterentropy-rngd 1.3.2
Reported numeric version number of jent library 3070000
Usage:
-h --help This help information
--version Print version
-v --verbose Verbose logging, multiple options increase verbosity
Verbose logging implies running in foreground
-p --pid Write daemon PID to file
-s --sp800-90b Force SP800-90B compliance
-f --flags Integer with flags used to allocate Jitter RNG
-o --osr Integer with OSR used to allocate Jitter RNG
--status Status information of the Jitter RNG - invoke with
same flags as used for runtime
--exit-on-error Cause the daemon to exit on errors
LRNG presence not detected
Options (9)
| Option | Description | Source |
|---|
-h, --help --help | displays the help text | help + man |
--version | returns the version number of the jitterentropy-rngd. | help + man |
-v, --verbose --verbose | Verbose logging, multiple options increase verbosity Verbose logging implies running in foreground | help + man |
-p --pid | Write daemon PID to file | help |
-s, --sp800-90b --sp800-90b | triggers a specific seeding strategy of the kernel /dev/random device to insert entropy that ensures the ChaCha20 DRNG behind /dev/random receives 256 bits of entropy as defined by SP800-90B. | help + man |
-f --flags | Integer with flags used to allocate Jitter RNG | help |
-o --osr | Integer with OSR used to allocate Jitter RNG | help |
--status | returns the Jitter RNG status output from the jitterentropy(3) libbrary API of jent_status. | help + man |
--exit-on-error | Cause the daemon to exit on errors | help |
