CONFIG_CRYPTO_JITTERENTROPY: Jitterentropy Non-Deterministic Random Number Generator

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CRYPTO_JITTERENTROPY:

• prompt: Jitterentropy Non-Deterministic Random Number Generator
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in crypto/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.2–4.13, 4.14-rc+HEAD
• modules built: jitterentropy, jitterentropy_rng

Help text

The Jitterentropy RNG is a noise that is intended to provide seed to another RNG. The RNG does not perform any cryptographic whitening of the generated random numbers. This Jitterentropy RNG registers with the kernel crypto API and can be used by any caller.
