NAME

infnoise - Infinite Noise TRNG driver

SYNOPSIS

infnoise --help
infnoise --version
infnoise --list-devices
infnoise [ --debug ] [ --dev-random ] [ --raw ] [ --multiplier < value >] [ --no-output ] [ --pidfile < file >] [ --daemon ] [ --serial < serial >]

DESCRIPTION

infnoise provides access to the Infinite Noise True Random Number Generator and allows the data it generates to be fed into the system’s random number generator.

infnoise --help shows a short summary of the options.

infnoise --version displays the program’s version information.

infnoise --list-devices lists all the supported TRNG devices present on the system.

infnoise reads random data from a TRNG and outputs filtered random data to its standard output. The various options control the program’s behaviour.

OPTIONS

--debug

measures the quality of the data obtained from the TRNG. It is typically used with --no-output as a sanity test.

--dev-random

adds the filtered data to the system’s entropy pool instead of sending it to its standard output.

--raw

disables output whitening.

--multiplier < value >

writes 256 bits × value for every 512 bits written to the Keccak sponge; the default of 0 means to write all the available entropy, without multiplying it.

--no-output

disables output of random data.

--pidfile < file >

stores the process’ identifier in file .

--daemon

starts the program as a daemon.

--serial < serial >

uses the device matching the specified serial .
