*Use entropy driver to generate random numbers*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

.. code-block:: none

    Enables a random number generator that uses the enabled hardware
    entropy gathering driver to generate random numbers. Should only be
    selected if hardware entropy driver is designed to be a random
    number generator source.
