Description
Grand 6mbit/S USB Hardware True Random Number Generator
Description
- 6 Mbps USB hardware true random number generator
- Passes FIPS 140-1, ENT and Dieharder tests
- Ideal for encryption (SSH, SSL, GPG), statistical sampling and simulations
- Can be used standalone or in conjunction with RNG tools to enhance the Linux entropy pool
- Device continuously monitors the quality of the random stream and halts if anomalies are detected
The Grand 6mbit/S USB Hardware True Random Number Generator (TRNG) is an essential tool for ensuring the security of many modern data encryption algorithms. Depending on the workload, the entropy collected automatically by the kernel may not be sufficient to generate the random numbers at the requested rate. In such cases, an external entropy source can significantly improve performance. Grand offers a USB virtual serial port and streams random data at up to 800 KBytes/s, which is faster than many competing products in the same price range.
