NAME 🖥️ EVP_RAND-SEED-SRCssl 🖥️

SEED-SRC - The randomness seed source EVP_RAND implementation

DESCRIPTION

Support for deterministic random number generator seeding through the EVP_RAND API.

The seed sources used are specified at the time OpenSSL is configured for building using the –with-rand-seed= option. By default, operating system randomness sources are used.

Identity

“SEED-SRC” is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the EVP_RAND_fetch() function.

Supported parameters

The supported parameters are:

“state” (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>

“strength” (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>

“max_request” (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST) <unsigned integer>

These parameters work as described in “PARAMETERS” in EVP_RAND (3).

NOTES

A context for the seed source can be obtained by calling:

EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, “SEED-SRC”, NULL); EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);

EXAMPLES

EVP_RAND *rand; EVP_RAND_CTX *seed, *rctx; unsigned char bytes[100]; OSSL_PARAM params[2], *p = params; unsigned int strength = 128; /* Create and instantiate a seed source */ rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, “SEED-SRC”, NULL); seed = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL); EVP_RAND_instantiate(seed, strength, 0, NULL, 0, NULL); EVP_RAND_free(rand); /* Feed this into a DRBG */ rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, “CTR-DRBG”, NULL); rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, seed); EVP_RAND_free(rand); /* Configure the DRBG */ *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_CIPHER, SN_aes_256_ctr, 0); *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params); EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0); EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx); EVP_RAND_CTX_free(seed);
