+## Random number generation
+
+U2F Zero has a hardware true random number generator (TRNG).  It's used internally
+for key generating and signing but it's also exposed to the user for other use cases because
+a good source of entropy can be useful.
+
+Generate random numbers from the device:
+
+```python
+cd tools/u2f_zero_client
+./client.py rng     # output randomness at about 1400 bytes/s
+```
+
+Update the seed with user supplied data:
+
+```python
+cd tools/u2f_zero_client
+cat /dev/random | ./client.py seed     # update seed at about 410 bytes/s
+```

 What's the point of an open source project if you can't build it yourself?
