rng-tools (2-unofficial-mt.9-1) experimental; urgency=low rng-tools now features an user-space driver to interface to the VIA PadLock security engine's RNG. In order to better support such extensions, rngd is being revised to work with better modularized entropy sources ("input drivers") and entropy sinks ("output drivers"). To accomodate for these changes, the public interfaces have been changed slightly. The "intel" TRNG profile has been renamed to "intelfwh" (in hindsight, it should have been named like that since day one). The "via" TRNG profile has been renamed "viakernel", and a new TRNG profile, "viapadlock", was added. It is probable that the command line interface will be throughoutly modified soon, to better accomodate the modular drivers. -- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh Fri, 5 Nov 2004 08:57:35 -0200
