NAME 🖥️ life_cycle-randssl 🖥️

rand - The RAND algorithm life-cycle

DESCRIPTION

All random number generator (RANDs) go through a number of stages in their life-cycle:

start
This state represents the RAND before it has been allocated. It is the starting state for any life-cycle transitions.

newed
This state represents the RAND after it has been allocated but unable to generate any output.

instantiated
This state represents the RAND when it is set up and capable of generating output.

uninstantiated
This state represents the RAND when it has been shutdown and it is no longer capable of generating output.

freed
This state is entered when the RAND is freed. It is the terminal state for all life-cycle transitions.

State Transition Diagram

The usual life-cycle of a RAND is illustrated: +————————-+ | start | +————————-+ | | EVP_RAND_CTX_new v +————————-+ | newed | +————————-+ | | EVP_RAND_instantiate v EVP_RAND_generate +————————-+ +——————– | | | | instantiated | +——————-> | | <+ +————————-+ ’ | ’ | EVP_RAND_uninstantiate ’ EVP_RAND_instantiate v ’ +————————-+ ’ | uninstantiated | -+ +————————-+ | | EVP_RAND_CTX_free v +————————-+ | freed | +————————-+

Formal State Transitions

This section defines all of the legal state transitions. This is the canonical list. Function Call —————— Current State —————— start newed instantiated uninstantiated freed EVP_RAND_CTX_new newed EVP_RAND_instantiate instantiated EVP_RAND_generate instantiated EVP_RAND_uninstantiate uninstantiated EVP_RAND_CTX_free freed freed freed freed EVP_RAND_CTX_get_params newed instantiated uninstantiated freed EVP_RAND_CTX_set_params newed instantiated uninstantiated freed EVP_RAND_CTX_gettable_params newed instantiated uninstantiated freed EVP_RAND_CTX_settable_params newed instantiated uninstantiated freed

NOTES

At some point the EVP layer will begin enforcing the transitions described herein.
