Question

The haveged daemon was made to alleviate systems with low amounts of this resource. A 2012 network survey was able (15[1])to obtain the RSA private keys of 0.5 percent of TLS hosts they scanned due to them not having enough of this resource. (15[1]-5[1])In 2019, a group of organizations including EPFL and the University of Chile formed a “League of [this resource]” that provides a “beacon” for it. Before Linux 5.6, some programs could block for arbitrary lengths of time when this resource was depleted from its namesake “pool”. Inspired by a (-5[1])similar (-5[1])Silicon Graphics system, Cloudflare uses a wall of (15[1])(*) lava lamps in their office as a secondary source of this resource. (10[1])Embedded systems often have a harder time acquiring this resource due to not having access to data like keyboard and mouse click timings. For 10 points, name this cryptographic resource that is critical to generating unpredictable keys. ■END■ (0[1])
