=head1 NAME
|
||||
|
||||
RAND_DRBG_generate,
|
||||
RAND_DRBG_bytes
|
||||
- generate random bytes using the given drbg instance
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
||||
|
||||
#include <openssl/rand_drbg.h>
|
||||
|
||||
int RAND_DRBG_generate(RAND_DRBG *drbg,
|
||||
unsigned char *out, size_t outlen,
|
||||
int prediction_resistance,
|
||||
const unsigned char *adin, size_t adinlen);
|
||||
|
||||
int RAND_DRBG_bytes(RAND_DRBG *drbg,
|
||||
unsigned char *out, size_t outlen);
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
RAND_DRBG_generate() generates B<outlen> random bytes using the given
|
||||
DRBG instance B<drbg> and stores them in the buffer at B<out>.
|
||||
|
||||
Before generating the output, the DRBG instance checks whether the maximum
|
||||
number of generate requests (I<reseed interval>) or the maximum timespan
|
||||
(I<reseed time interval>) since its last seeding have been reached.
|
||||
If this is the case, the DRBG reseeds automatically.
|
||||
Additionally, an immediate reseeding can be requested by setting the
|
||||
B<prediction_resistance> flag to 1. See NOTES section for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
The caller can optionally provide additional data to be used for reseeding
|
||||
by passing a pointer B<adin> to a buffer of length B<adinlen>.
|
||||
This additional data is mixed into the internal state of the random
|
||||
generator but does not contribute to the entropy count.
|
||||
The additional data can be omitted by setting B<adin> to NULL and
|
||||
B<adinlen> to 0;
|
||||
|
||||
RAND_DRBG_bytes() generates B<outlen> random bytes using the given
|
||||
DRBG instance B<drbg> and stores them in the buffer at B<out>.
|
||||
This function is a wrapper around the RAND_DRBG_generate() call,
|
||||
which collects some additional data from low entropy sources
|
||||
(e.g., a high resolution timer) and calls
|
||||
RAND_DRBG_generate(drbg, out, outlen, 0, adin, adinlen).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
||||
|
||||
RAND_DRBG_generate() and RAND_DRBG_bytes() return 1 on success,
|
||||
and 0 on failure.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 NOTES
|
||||
|
||||
The I<reseed interval> and I<reseed time interval> of the B<drbg> are set to
|
||||
reasonable default values, which in general do not have to be adjusted.
|
||||
If necessary, they can be changed using L<RAND_DRBG_set_reseed_interval(3)>
|
||||
and L<RAND_DRBG_set_reseed_time_interval(3)>, respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
A request for prediction resistance can only be satisfied by pulling fresh
|
||||
entropy from one of the approved entropy sources listed in section 5.5.2 of
|
||||
[NIST SP 800-90C].
|
||||
Since the default DRBG implementation does not have access to such an approved
|
||||
entropy source, a request for prediction resistance will always fail.
|
||||
In other words, prediction resistance is currently not supported yet by the DRBG.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 HISTORY
|
||||
|
||||
