Overview¶
Package entropy provides the passive entropy source for the FIPS 140-3module. It is only used in FIPS mode bycrypto/internal/fips140/drbg.Read.
This complies with IG 9.3.A, Additional Comment 12, which until January 1,2026 allows new modules to meet anearlier version of Resolution 2(b):"A software module that contains an approved DRBG that receives a LOADcommand (or its logical equivalent) with entropy obtained from [...] insidethe physical perimeter of the operational environment of the module [...]."
Distributions that have their own SP 800-90B entropy source should replacethis package with their own implementation.
