Hi,

regarding this, the Simtec Entropy Key http://www.entropykey.co.uk/ is
available for sale online since a few days ago. This is an USB
hardware entropy generator. Perhaps this would be something to
consider in your tests regarding quality and speed of entropy
generation.

Kind Regards,

Sebastian
