Recommended Posts

Starting from Linux kernel v5.4, the HAVEGED inspired algorithm has been included in the Linux kernel, see the LKML article and the Linux Kernel commit. Additionally, since v5.6, as soon as the CRNG (the Linux cryptographic-strength random number generator) gets ready, /dev/random does not block on reads anymore: see this commit.
