Abstract
Methods and apparatus for sharing entropy between an entropy broker and various devices wherein the entropy broker receives a communication from a client. Responsive to determining that the client provided entropy, the entropy broker tests the provided entropy for randomness and stores provided entropy that passes verification and responsive to determining that the client requested entropy, the entropy broker adds the client to an entropy queue.
