RNGD based on CPU Jitter RNG
The CPU Jitter Random Number Generator provides a non-physical true random number generator that works equally in kernel and user land. The only prerequisite is the availability of a high-resolution timer that is available in modern CPUs. Upon starting as a service, it will block until it has written 256 bytes of entropy (which happens almost immediately) A whitepaper is available at: http://www.chronox.de/jent/doc/CPU-Jitter-NPTRNG.pdf
