| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 25 | * |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 26 | * The Random number generator (RNG) module provides random number |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 27 | * generation, see \c mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random(). |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 28 | * |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 29 | * The block-cipher counter-mode based deterministic random |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 30 | * bit generator (CTR_DBRG) as specified in NIST SP800-90. It needs an external |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 31 | * source of entropy. For these purposes \c mbedtls_entropy_func() can be used. |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 32 | * This is an implementation based on a simple entropy accumulator design. |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 33 | * |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 34 | * The other number generator that is included is less strong and uses the |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 35 | * HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion) software heuristic |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 36 | * which considered unsafe for primary usage, but provides additional random |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 37 | * to the entropy pool if enables. |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 38 | * |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 39 | * Meaning that there seems to be no practical algorithm that can guess |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 40 | * the next bit with a probability larger than 1/2 in an output sequence. |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 41 | * |
| markrad | 58:f50b97b08851 | 42 | * This module can be used to generate random numbers. |
