NAME


pollinate - an Entropy-as-a-Service client

SYNOPSIS


pollinate [-c|--curl-opts CURL_OPTS] [-d|--device DEVICE] [-i|--insecure] [-n|--no-
challenge] [-r|--reseed] [-s|--server SERVER1 [-s|--server SERVER2] ...]

DESCRIPTION


pollinate is an entropy as a service client. It will fetch a random seed from one or more
remote servers, and feed those into a (pseudo) random number generator. This is often
useful in cloud and virtual machine environments with limited sources of entropy.

OPTIONS


-b|--binary
rather than producing hex text sha512sum(1) output, convert each two hex digits
into a byte of binary data

-c|--curl-opts CURL_OPTS
options to pass through to curl(1)

-d|--device DEVICE
device to seed (default is /dev/urandom); note, you can use - to print to stdout

-n|--no-challenge
disable the challenge/response portion of the protocol; this enables a
compatibility mode to speak to any entropy server, like random.org or
news.google.com

-i|--insecure
ignore SSL/TLS certificate errors (use of this option is highly discouraged)

-p|--pool SERVER
remote pollen(8) server pool to interact with; this option can be specified
multiple times to interact with multiple servers in a pool

-r|--reseed
by default, pollinate technically only needs to run successfully once ever; this
option should be used if someone wants run more than once, and re-seed the PRNG

-s|--server SERVER
remote pollen(8) server to interact with; if this option is used, the pool is
ignored, and only a single server is used

--strict
handle network errors strictly and exit non-zero for any network error encountered,
otherwise default is to warn

-t|--testing
test communications with the pollen(8) server; note that this will NOT actually
seed your PRNG, but only verify that the local client can communicate with the
remote servers; note that this option forces DEVICE to stdout

-q|--quiet
silence any log messages

-w|--wait WAIT
time in seconds you're willing to wait for a response from the server
