Does anyone know if haveged significantly affects things like truecrypt, cryptsetup, RSA, or SSL if you happen to leave the daemon running for long periods of time? I'm sure that it's always going to be "random enough", but I often make use of Archlinux in forensic environments involving encrypted disks and files or transferring things over SSL, so I do need to know if there is even a theoretical weakness in my environment in case my tools and methodologies are called into question.
