Cryptographic Authority
Entropy Generation
The creation of true randomness by the user’s own hardware for cryptographic operations — the raw material of cryptographic independence.
Definition
The process of creating true randomness for cryptographic operations. Sovereignty requires that entropy be generated by the user’s own hardware — not a pre-seed value from a factory, not a pseudo-random number from a software library whose source code you cannot audit. True entropy is the raw material of cryptographic independence: without it, every key, every signature, every secret is built on someone else’s foundation.
