CONFIG_S390_PRNG: Pseudo random number generator device driver

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_S390_PRNG has multiple definitions:

Pseudo random number generator device driver found in drivers/crypto/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_S390_PRNG:

• prompt: Pseudo random number generator device driver
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_S390
• defined in drivers/crypto/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.25–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD
• modules built: prng, prng

Help text

Select this option if you want to use the s390 pseudo random number generator. The PRNG is part of the cryptographic processor functions and uses triple-DES to generate secure random numbers like the ANSI X9.17 standard. User-space programs access the pseudo-random-number device through the char device /dev/prandom.

It is available as of z9.
