Haveged 1.4

Haveged 1.4: Posted Feb 8, 2012; Site issihosts.com; haveged is a daemon that feeds the /dev/random pool on Linux using an adaptation of the HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion algorithm invented at IRISA. The algorithm is self-tuning on machines with cpuid support, and has been tested in both 32-bit and 64-bit environments. The tarball uses the GNU build mechanism, and includes self test targets and a spec file for those who want to build an RPM.; Changes: A 'generic' architecture based upon clock_gettime() has also been added. An s390 architecture has also been added. The build script now allows non Red Hat init scripts to be installed without patching the build. The collection loop has been rewritten to support multiple instances, and an experimental threaded option is now available to spread the CPU load. Auto tuning has been rewritten to replace buggy cpuid code and to incorporate information obtained from the /proc and /sys filesystems.; tags | tool; systems | linux, unix; MD5 | 39a03d4b8a4225706f78dbef3f623b0e; Download | Favorite | Comments (0)
