minimalEntropy

The minimalEntropy option is used to specify how high (in bytes) the entropy content of the entropy pool must be before access to the random number generator is permitted.

minimalEntropy

<value>

<value>

Value for the entropy content of the entropy pool (in bytes) as of which access is permitted to the random number generator.
Default: 256

Once this value has been exceeded random numbers are always supplied, even when this minimum value is not reached. Generally the default value is sufficient. If values below 256 are specified, 256 is used.
