The haveged project is an attempt to provide an easy-to-use, unpredictable
random number generator based upon an adaptation of the HAVEGE algorithm.

The HAVEGE algorithm is based upon the indirect effects of unrelated hardware

Samples from a high-resolution timer are input into the algorithm to
produce a stream of random data in a collection buffer. The contents of this
-buffer can be fed into the random device or accessed directly through the file
-system. File system access is a useful alternative to those situations where
-use of the random device is either inappropriate or not available.
