+ drbg.stdrng=<name>
+ Kernel crypto API name of the SP800-90A DRBG that
+ is marked as "stdrng". Parts of the kernel requiring
+ random numbers may use the "stdrng" random number
+ generator. In FIPS mode (when the kernel command line
+ parameter fips=1 is provided), the priority of the
+ DRBG stdrng is increased to be higher than other
+ stdrng definitions. This implies, the DRBG is used as
+ default in FIPS mode.
