SDR as entropy source || atmospheric radio noise for crypto numbers
If you're serious about the cryptographic security of your entropy source, you should probably short, or put a 50 Ohm load on the antenna port, and put the whole assembly in a shielded box. Then you're getting entropy from the thermal noise of the amplifiers which is much harder to interfere with than atmospheric radio.
Both of these are analog entropy sources.
Not Just AstLinux Stuff: High Quality Entropy - rtl_entropy uses atmospheric radio noise from an RTL-SDR dongle to generate entropy. Because the RTL-SDR hardware is able to sample about 3.2 MS/S this translates into about 3.4Mbits/s of entropy.
