Sharing entropy between computers with entropyservice

Posts

Suffering with low entropy on Xen/KVM/VMware VMs? Get help from another computer with better entropy sources.

Check out entropyservice. It allows low entropy machines (eg virtual machines) to collect data from another host with high entropy (eg a real computer) via SSH, then stir it in to the kernel’s entropy pool using rngd.
