Documentation and Analysis of the Linux Random Number Generator - Version 5.9

date<br>31.01.2024

One focal point of this study in addition to the assessment of the algorithmic part of the Linux-RNG is the estimation of the entropy of the raw data that is provided to the Linux-RNG by the noise sources. The goal of the assessment is to determine whether the Linux-RNG is able to provide 100 bits, the threshold defined by [TR021021], of entropy early after a system boot.
