I didn't get why this should be in Krux documentation.

Lavarand reference provides valuable context for understanding the rationale and legitimacy of Krux's image-based entropy generation method. It connects our "experimental" feature to a well-known, historically validated approach to physical entropy collection in cryptography.

This is important because "entropy from camera" can sound hand-wavy or insecure to a reader without context and by referencing Lavarand, we implicitly answer the question:

  • Is using a camera img as an entropy source legitimate? Yes, this idea has decades of precedent in cryptographic systems!
  • And adds a reference point if someone wants to audit or discuss the entropy assumptions.
