[PATCH 1/5] CPU Jitter RNG
From: Stephan Mueller
Date: Tue Feb 04 2014 - 07:48:21 EST
The jitterentropy-base.c file implements the CPU Jitter RNG as
documented at http://www.chronox.de/jent/doc/CPU-Jitter-NPTRNG.html.
The associated header file makes the RNG available to the remainder
of the kernel.
The CPU Jitter RNG delivers entropy on demand. Therefore, it only
causes system overhead when entropy is requested. The RNG delivers
entropy even at early boot time, sufficient to satisfy the earliest
users of random numbers.
The RNG is based on a high-resolution timer like the x86 RDTSC
instruction. The generated random bit stream does not show any
statistical significant patterns. The output of the random number
generator passes all standard statistical tools analyzing the quality
of a random data stream.
The documentation discusses the noise sources, including quantitative
analyses in chapter 6 of the aforementioned document.
Testing of the code on a large number of CPUs and operating systems
is performed as outlined in chapter 5 and the appendix of the mentioned
document.
