[Gnuk-users] Security of NeuG?

Hi!

Since I noticed that basically, in the environment where I generated the key, I had no real entropy (only that from HAVEGED which I don't trust), I decided to kill haveged, drain the pool, flash NeuG on the FST-01 and run rngd. Since there was almost no other entropy, I guess almost all entropy came from NeuG. Thus I'm wondering: Is NeuG "secure enough" for long term keys?
