EGADS is a system service and library for providing secure
random numbers. It contains an implementation of the Tiny
pseudo-random number generator and the Tiny entropy gateway.
Tiny is an evolution of Yarrow, and was designed by John
Kelsey (an original designer of Yarrow) and John Viega. We
are currently preparing a white paper on the Tiny algorithm.

EGADS provides the same kind of functionality as /dev/random
and /dev/urandom on Linux systems, but works on Windows, and
as a portable Unix program.

EGADS is available as a portable user-level daemon for Unix
systems, and as a service for Windows 2000 and XP machines.

EGADS is alpha software. Please treat it as such. If you have
comments or find problems then please let the authors know by
sending mail to egads@securesw.com. 

Work on EGADS was funded in part by DARPA's CHATS program.
