We'd love to advance them further; just as soon as we have the time to
sink into doing it properly :)

The prototype driver we have at the moment is very very crusty; it
doesn't support any of the Entropy Key's security features (end-to-end
encrypted entropy, authentication of device, etc) and essentially just
runs the device in a dumb mode and parses the input, which it then
exposes through a somewhat adhoc API thrown together as a proof of
concept.

If you're really sure you want this, I can drop it to you in an email;
no NDA will be needed.  However, depending on your comfort and
experience of such things, you may find it easier to follow the protocol
documentation that is included in the sources for our UNIX drivers to
embed the functionality directly into your application in the mean time.

Again, if anybody wants to help improve these drivers (or port the
fully-featured UNIX ones to Windows) we'll provide whatever support we
can.
