So a couple of friends and I are starting a new open source project. If any of you remember the LavaRnd project it is the basis of our idea. All you need is one of the supported cameras and a solid enclosure and you can quickly get cryptographic strength provably random numbers. What we are going to do is take this a step further and create a live cd for people to use. The goal is to create something that people can easily consume using old hardware laying around and the live cd. The feature set that has been mapped out include...
- Easy to use admin console on the console itself for configuration
- Web service to produce random data with lightweight set of input parameters
- OpenSSL signing on all requests to verify that the random data is truly coming from the expected source
- A full test suite to statistically prove that the data being generated is truly random
