Help text

Say Y here if you want to connect an AltusMetrum ChaosKey or Araneus Alea I to your computer's USB port. These devices are hardware random number generators which hook into the kernel entropy pool to ensure a large supply of entropy for /dev/random and /dev/urandom and also provides direct access via /dev/chaoskeyX

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called chaoskey.
