Try timer_entropyd. It's written by the same person who wrote |
| 8 |
audio_entropyd and video_entropyd. The up side is you don't need any |
| 9 |
special hardware and it will jump your available entropy up by quite a |
| 10 |
bit. Not as good as a true hardware generator most likely, but probably |
| 11 |
perfectly fine for your purposes. |

It's not available in portage, though I've been looking at writing an |
| 16 |
ebuild for it. I am not a cryptographer, and can not speak as to the |
| 17 |
quality of the random data. I have run FIPS tests on /dev/random with it |
| 18 |
in use, however, and in the tests I ran no blocks of random data failed |
| 19 |
the tests. |
