It updates the /dev/random entropy estimator such that the newly provided entropy unblocks /dev/random. . The seeding of /dev/random also ensures that /dev/urandom benefits from entropy. Especially during boot time, when the entropy of Linux is low, the Jitter RNGd provides a source of sufficient entropy.
