NAME
noiz -- a simple package for accumulating and dispensing
cryptographically-strong noise, using MD5 as
a stirring function
See "noiz.doc" for more information.
I'm interested in someone pointing out serious errors in my
algorithm or the implementation. See particularly the ALGORITHM
section at the end of "noiz.doc".
I believe this will meet Tim May's standards for practical entropy,
but probably not Matt Blaze's high standards.
It allows users to decide how much true entropy they require, and lets
them share entropy with each other if they want. Crunching with MD5
obscures where the randomness came from. The "noizout" command
produces 128 high-entropy bits in a split second, and can be repeated
for more, although it is theoretically better to add entropy to the pool
every time you take some out. But I personally use a crontab that adds
a few bits every minute, and rely on the crunching to hide correlations.
strick
p.s. I will be in chicago this weekend,
so I'll mess the MVCPPM :(
----------------
MAKE A DIRECTORY NAMED "noiz-0.5" and unshar it there.
This works on SunOS and probably on almost any unix platform
with minor tweaks to the Makefile.
#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive. Remove anything before this line, then unpack
# it by saving it into a file and typing "sh file". To overwrite existing
# files, type "sh file -c". You can also feed this as standard input via
# unshar, or by typing "sh <file", e.g.. If this archive is complete, you
# will see the following message at the end:
# "End of shell archive."

XNAME
X
X noiz -- a simple package for accumulating and dispensing
X cryptographically-strong noise, using MD5 as
X a stirring function
X
XANTICOPYRIGHT
X
X Anticopyright (A) 1995 Henry Strickland <strick@yak.net>
X This package is placed this package in the public domain.
X
X Because this package is free, there is no warranty
X for it whatsoever. Caveat hacker.
X
X This is alpha-quality software. It seemed to work for
X me, but it may not do what I say it does.
X
X The MD5 implementation is by Colin Plumb (1993),
X and is also in the public domain.
X
X
XSYNOPSIS
X
X noizinit
X
X creates the file /etc/noiz
X
X
X noizstir < noise-source
X
X stirs the noise-source into /etc/noiz
X
X
X noizout < noise-source > output-noise
X
X produces 16 bytes of noise, for applications to use
X
X
X noizspin > output-time
X
X prints a somewhat-random number, with several bits of
X entropy.
X
X
XFILES
X
X /etc/noiz a binary file containing 256 bytes of noise
X state. That's 2048 bits of entropy, assuming
X it has been stirred with that much entropy.
X
X
X
XDESCRIPTION
X
X noizinit creates /etc/noiz and initializes it with bytes
X 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 255.
X
X It must be stirred several times with noizstir
X before it is ready to be used by noizout.
X
X
X noizspin Set an alarm for 1 second. Using an unsigned
X long, count until the alarm is received, and
X print the count, in ascii, as a decimal number,
X followed by a newline.
X
X
X noizstir changes the noise ("stirs" it) in /etc/noiz,
X based on prior contents of /etc/noiz, current
X time, pid, ppid, and input bytes read from
X standard input.
X
X The standard input may be empty (as in
X
X noizstir < /dev/null
X
X ) or may be some system-generated noise (as in
X
X ps uaxg | noizstir
X ls -li /tmp/ | noizstir
X netstat -s | noizstir
X
X ) or you may use the "noizspin" command which
X was designed especially for this purpose:
X
X noizspin | noizstir
X
X noizout Produces 16 bytes of random noise, based on the
X contents of /etc/noiz, current time, pid, ppid,
X and input bytes read from standard input. The
X output is 16 raw binary bytes; if you want some
X kind of ascii encoding, you must convert the
X output. Piping the output into "od -x" is
X useful for debugging.
X
X Unlike noizstir, noizout does not change
X /etc/noiz. You may use it without empty
X standard input, but it is better to feed it
X some extra noise. The noizspin command is good
X for this:
X
X noizspin | noizout
X
X The bytes emitted from noizout do not reveal
X the contents of /etc/noiz. In fact, no command
X does, so all users can share /etc/noiz.
X
X Because noizout always stirs current time, pid,
X and ppid into its output, even this command,
X repeated many times without running noizstir,
X will generate fairly high-entropy random
X output:
X
X noizout < /dev/null
X
X
X
XDIAGNOSTICS
X
X All four programs print one line to stderr and exit with a
X nonzero status if they cannot read or write /etc/noiz and they
X need to.
X
X Otherwise the programs execute without writing to stdout, and
X they exit with status zero.
X
X
X
XRECOMMENDED INSTALLATION
X
X You should probably be root to do the "make install". You may
X use "make BIN=/etc install" to put the four binaries into the
X /etc/ directory instead of /usr/local/bin/.
X
X /etc/noiz owner root
X group kmem
X mode 660 (not publically readable or writable)
X
X /usr/local/bin/noizinit
X owner root
X group kmem
X mode 550 (no special permissions)
X (only execute at install time)
X
X /usr/local/bin/noizstir
X owner root
X group kmem
X mode 2555 (setgid kmem)
X (anyone can execute)
X
X /usr/local/bin/noizout
X owner root
X group kmem
X mode 2555 (setgid kmem)
X (anyone can execute)
X
X /usr/local/bin/noizspin
X owner root
X group kmem
X mode 555 (no special permissions)
X (anyone can execute)
X
X
X For your crontab:
X
X * * * * * /usr/local/bin/noizspin | /usr/local/bin/noizstir
X
X This will stir the /etc/noiz with a few bits of noise
X per minute.
X
X You may put it in the crontab for root, or for daemon,
X or users themselves may do it.
