The name is taken from the yarrow plant, the stalks of which are dried and used as a randomising agent in I Ching divination. It was designed by Bruce Schneier, John Kelsey, and Niels Ferguson of Counterpane Labs (Kelsey et al., 1999). The Yarrow algorithm is explicitly unpatented and royalty-free; no license is required to use it. Yarrow is incorporated in Mac OS X, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD for their /dev/random devices. An improved design from Ferguson and Schneier, Fortuna, is described in their book, Practical Cryptography.
