.Sh DESCRIPTION
The various
.Nm
-devices produce random output data with different random qualities.
+devices produce high quality random output data.
Entropy data is collected from system activity (like disk, network,
and clock device interrupts and such), and then run through various
hash or message digest functions to generate the output.
