Description: twuewand - A TrueRand algorithm for generating entropy
        ======================================================
        
        About
        -----
        
        twuewand is software that creates hardware-generated random data. It
        accomplishes this by exploiting the fact that the CPU clock and the RTC
        (real-time clock) are physically separate, and that time and work are
        not linked.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        twuewand requires Python 2.7. In addition, the pycrypto package is
        optional, but highly recommended.
        
        To install:
        
            sudo python setup.py install
        
        On Linux systems, a small C program is also available called
        rndaddentropy. This is a wrapper for the RNDADDENTROPY ioctl, and is
        used for directly adding entropy to the Linux primary pool. Please see
        its manpage for more details.
        
            sudo make -C rndaddentropy install
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Please see the twuewand manpage for invocation options.
