232# hostapd depends on strong random number generation being available from the
233# operating system. os_get_random() function is used to fetch random data when
234# needed, e.g., for key generation. On Linux and BSD systems, this works by
235# reading /dev/urandom. It should be noted that the OS entropy pool needs to be
236# properly initialized before hostapd is started. This is important especially
237# on embedded devices that do not have a hardware random number generator and
238# may by default start up with minimal entropy available for random number
239# generation.
240#
241# As a safety net, hostapd is by default trying to internally collect
242# additional entropy for generating random data to mix in with the data
243# fetched from the OS. This by itself is not considered to be very strong, but
244# it may help in cases where the system pool is not initialized properly.
245# However, it is very strongly recommended that the system pool is initialized
246# with enough entropy either by using hardware assisted random number
Jouni Malinen75ecf522011-06-27 15:19:46 -0700247# generator or by storing state over device reboots.

Jouni Malinen75ecf522011-06-27 15:19:46 -0700249# hostapd can be configured to maintain its own entropy store over restarts to
250# enhance random number generation. This is not perfect, but it is much more
251# secure than using the same sequence of random numbers after every reboot.
252# This can be enabled with -e<entropy file> command line option. The specified
253# file needs to be readable and writable by hostapd.

257# data from /dev/urandom), the internal hostapd random pool can be disabled.
