Abstract
Servers in datacenters, mobile devices and virtualized servers without human interaction may experience difficulties in establishing entropy in a virtualized computing environment. Entropy is an important foundation for cryptography and a lack of entropy has led to weaknesses that can be used to break cryptographic systems in the past.
