Hi,

I would like to import the jitterentropy library.  It generates
entropy by timing CPU operations and memory access.  Advantage is
that it also works in virtual environments.

There exists a daemon that uses this library to seed the kernel.
But that is another port.

A NIST testsuite exists to evaluate the entropy of the collected
data.  There are a bunch of ports missing to run the testsuite.
The library itself is working fine.

ok to import jitterentropy-library 3.6.3 ?

Comment:
hardware RNG based on CPU timing jitter

Description:
The jitterentropy library provides a source of good entropy by collecting
CPU executing time jitter. The entropy in the CPU execution time jitter
is magnified by the CPU Jitter Random Number Generator.  The CPU Jitter
Random Number Generator uses the CPU execution timing jitter to generate
a bit stream which complies with different statistical measurements that
determine the bit stream is random.
