  Description     : A Linux entropy source using the HAVEGE algorithm

Linux provides device interfaces (/dev/random and /dev/urandom) to a
pool of random numbers collected from system interrupt service routines.
On some systems, especially on those systems with high needs or limited
user interaction, the standard collection mechanism cannot meet demand.
The haveged daemon was created to supplement the default harvesting
mechanism in those circumstances to maintain a minimum supply of random
numbers available at all times.

The HAVEGE algorithm uses the indirect effects of unrelated hardware
events on instruction timing to create the data added to the random
pool. The effects are measured by reading the processor time-stamp
counter into an array and performing a calculation heavily dependent
upon processor features such as branch predictors and data access
mechanisms.
