    wolfEntropy, a software-based entropy source by the wolfSSL team, utilizes timing jitter in memory accesses across cache levels. Available since wolfSSL v5.5.4, it obviates hardware redesign for high-performance entropy. Compliant with NIST's SP800-90B, it ensures cryptographic-grade randomness, meeting criteria like conditional, health, predictive, and true entropy sources. This eliminates the need for dedicated hardware to generate random numbers suitable for cryptographic use.

    wolfEntropy SP 800-90B Software TRNG Source

    wolfSSL Version 5.7.0

    Description Features

    The wolfEntropy library is a software-based source of When wolfSSL is build with the configuration flag ./configure
    entropy that utilized timing jitter variations of memory –enable-mem-use and the built-in random number generator
    accesses in different cache levels to derive entropy. (RNG) is used, the HASH_DRBG will make use of
    wolfEntropy was built from scratch by the wolfSSL team. wc_Entropy_Get() to obtain a seed source. Here is a block
    This source of entropy has been available since the diagram illustrating the operation of the entropy source.
    release of wolfSSL v5.5.4. You no longer need to re-design
    your hardware to include a hardware based high
    performance software entropy source is available now!

    It is designed to fully conform with SP800-90B. The


    SP800-90B is a publication by the National Institute of
    Standards and Technology (NIST) that specifies the
    requirements for entropy sources used in cryptography
    sources: conditional, health, predictive, and true. In order to
    generate random numbers that are suitable for
    cryptographic use, a true entropy source is required.

    The wolfEntropy library source is being tested to ensure


    that it fulfills the requirements for a genuine entropy source,
    as defined in the publication, and will soon go through the
    FIPS Entropy Source Validation (ESX). For additional
    information, visit our FIPS FAQ page or contact
    fips@wolfssl.com.
