Over the Holidays I recieved a Flying Stone Technology 01.
It is apparently a very small computer connected to
a usb port.
It apparently has 2 applications and both have relevance
to crypto.
1 Gnuk, Cryptographic USB Token
2 NeuG, a True Random Number Generator Implementation
All of the published software is GPLed.
I have a number of questions:
How do I set up the FST-01 to be a hardware RNG?
How do I use?
Will it work with my Raspberry PI?
If my Raspberry PI has a 1 amp power supply, can I plug the
FST-directly into it or do I need to use a powered usb hub?
Rapberry PI are notoriously finicky about their power, a small
voltage drop causes the PI to fail. There are many usb devices
that can not be directly plugged into a PI. Is the FST-01 one
of these?
What is the reason for GnuK? What is the use case?
What is a Cryptographic USB Token?
Can I setup my FST-01 to be either a GNUK or a NEUG depending
on the desire of the moment?
Thank You for considering these questions.

around it." Edward Snowden
