Product Description:

Entropy automatically generates WEP and WPA keys using true-random bytes from these providers/sources of entropy: HotBits (radioactive decay), Random.org (atmospheric noise), EntropyPool and /dev/random.

Generate encryption keys in these formats:

WEP, 64-bit, hexadecimal
WEP, 128-bit, hexadecimal
WEP, 256-bit, hexadecimal
WPA-PSK, 8-character, ASCII
WPA-PSK, 20-character, ASCII
WPA-PSK, 63-character, ASCII

What's new in this version:

Andrew Hedges did the beta testing for this release and even suggested many of the features. Have a look at his Dashboard Widgets.

You can now choose one of four different sources/providers of entropy: radioactive decay/HotBits, atmospheric noise/Random.org, various sources/EntropyPool and /dev/random.
Generated keys will be selected automatically (just press Apple+C to copy).
Fixed a profile bug. The profile "WEP, 64-bit, Hexadecimal" and provider "/dev/random, Local sources" are now selected automatically on first run.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

An active connection to the Internet is needed to use some of the sources of entropy.
