Product: Fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=890589 Bug ID: 890589 Summary: Review Request: csprng - Entropy source using the cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Reporter: hladky.jiri@xxxxxxxxx Spec URL: http://jhladky.fedorapeople.org/csprng.spec SRPM URL: http://jhladky.fedorapeople.org/csprng-1.1.1-0.fc16.src.rpm Description: The csprng project provides cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator. It consists of * C library * csprng-generate utility to generate stream of random numbers written to file or to STDOUT * Linux daemon csprngd to fill entropy of Linux kernel random device /dev/random It combines these three components to provide a high quality cascade random number generator: * HAVEGE hardware random number generator. HAVEGE combines on-the-fly hardware volatile entropy gathering with pseudo-random number generation. The internal state of HAVEGE includes thousands of internal volatile hardware states of the CPU and is merely unmonitorable. The CPU intern states include caches, branch predictors, TLBs, long pipelines, instruction level parallelism, ... The state of these components is not architectural (i.e. the result of an ordinary application does not depend on it), it is also volatile and cannot be directly monitored by the user. Every invocation of the operating system modifies thousands of these binary volatile states. * Cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNGD): block cipher AES-128 working in the counter mode based Deterministic Random Bit Generator as defined by NIST SP800-90 document * Run-time random number statistical testing and verification as defined by FIPS PUB 140-2 * Monobit test * Poker test * Runs test * Long run test * Continuous run test Fedora Account System Username:jhladky -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
