=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_new() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new()
|
|
create a new DRBG instance of the given B<type>, allocated from the heap resp.
|
|
the secure heap
|
|
(using OPENSSL_zalloc() resp. OPENSSL_secure_zalloc()).
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_set() initializes the B<drbg> with the given B<type> and B<flags>.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_set_defaults() sets the default B<type> and B<flags> for new DRBG
|
|
instances.
|
|
|
|
Currently, all DRBG types are based on AES-CTR, so B<type> can be one of the
|
|
following values: NID_aes_128_ctr, NID_aes_192_ctr, NID_aes_256_ctr.
|
|
Before the DRBG can be used to generate random bits, it is necessary to set
|
|
its type and to instantiate it.
|
|
|
|
The optional B<flags> argument specifies a set of bit flags which can be
|
|
joined using the | operator. Currently, the only flag is
|
|
RAND_DRBG_FLAG_CTR_NO_DF, which disables the use of a the derivation function
|
|
ctr_df. For an explanation, see [NIST SP 800-90A Rev. 1].
|
|
|
|
If a B<parent> instance is specified then this will be used instead of
|
|
the default entropy source for reseeding the B<drbg>. It is said that the
|
|
B<drbg> is I<chained> to its B<parent>.
|
|
For more information, see the NOTES section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_instantiate()
|
|
seeds the B<drbg> instance using random input from trusted entropy sources.
|
|
Optionally, a personalization string B<pers> of length B<perslen> can be
|
|
specified.
|
|
To omit the personalization string, set B<pers>=NULL and B<perslen>=0;
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_uninstantiate()
|
|
clears the internal state of the B<drbg> and puts it back in the
|
|
uninstantiated state.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_new() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new() return a pointer to a DRBG
|
|
instance allocated on the heap, resp. secure heap.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_set(),
|
|
RAND_DRBG_instantiate(), and
|
|
RAND_DRBG_uninstantiate()
|
|
return 1 on success, and 0 on failure.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_free() does not return a value.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
The DRBG design supports I<chaining>, which means that a DRBG instance can
|
|
use another B<parent> DRBG instance instead of the default entropy source
|
|
to obtain fresh random input for reseeding, provided that B<parent> DRBG
|
|
instance was properly instantiated, either from a trusted entropy source,
|
|
or from yet another parent DRBG instance.
|
|
For a detailed description of the reseeding process, see L<RAND_DRBG(7)>.
|
|
|
|
The default DRBG type and flags are applied only during creation of a DRBG
|
|
instance.
|
|
To ensure that they are applied to the global and thread-local DRBG instances
|
|
(<master>, resp. <public> and <private>), it is necessary to call
|
|
RAND_DRBG_set_defaults() before creating any thread and before calling any
|
|
cryptographic routines that obtain random data directly or indirectly.
