[PATCH] ath9k: export HW random number generator

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Miaoqing Pan <miaoqing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We measured the ADC-based entropy in 3 ways, Shannon entropy,
collision entropy, and directly measured min-entropy. Entropy is
in bits per 16 bit value,
   ---------------------------
   Shannon | collision | min
   ---------------------------
   12.00   | 10.80     | 9.18
   ---------------------------

Recommend: A generous safety factor be used. NIST Special Publication
800-90B (draft) requires that data used to seed a deterministic random
bit generator with N bits of strength have an estimated entropy at least
twice the block size of the underlying primitive. Given all the
uncertainties, it would be wise to collect even more.

Analysis was done by Jacobson,David(djacobso@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
