NAME

RAND_DRBG_new, RAND_DRBG_secure_new, RAND_DRBG_set, RAND_DRBG_set_defaults, RAND_DRBG_instantiate, RAND_DRBG_uninstantiate, RAND_DRBG_free - initialize and cleanup a RAND_DRBG instance

SYNOPSIS

 #include <openssl/rand_drbg.h>

 RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_new(int type,
                          unsigned int flags,
                          RAND_DRBG *parent);

 RAND_DRBG *RAND_DRBG_secure_new(int type,
                                 unsigned int flags,
                                 RAND_DRBG *parent);

 int RAND_DRBG_set(RAND_DRBG *drbg,
                   int type, unsigned int flags);

 int RAND_DRBG_set_defaults(int type, unsigned int flags);

 int RAND_DRBG_instantiate(RAND_DRBG *drbg,
                           const unsigned char *pers, size_t perslen);

 int RAND_DRBG_uninstantiate(RAND_DRBG *drbg);

 void RAND_DRBG_free(RAND_DRBG *drbg);

DESCRIPTION

RAND_DRBG_new() and RAND_DRBG_secure_new() create a new DRBG instance of the given type, allocated from the heap resp. the secure heap (using OPENSSL_zalloc() resp. OPENSSL_secure_zalloc()).

RAND_DRBG_set() initializes the drbg with the given type and flags.

RAND_DRBG_set_defaults() sets the default type and flags for new DRBG instances.

Currently, all DRBG types are based on AES-CTR, so 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 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 the derivation function ctr_df. For an explanation, see [NIST SP 800-90A Rev. 1].

If a parent instance is specified then this will be used instead of the default entropy source for reseeding the drbg. It is said that the drbg is chained to its parent. For more information, see the NOTES section.

RAND_DRBG_instantiate() seeds the drbg instance using random input from trusted entropy sources. Optionally, a personalization string pers of length perslen can be specified. To omit the personalization string, set pers=NULL and perslen=0;

RAND_DRBG_uninstantiate() clears the internal state of the drbg and puts it back in the uninstantiated state.

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.

NOTES

The DRBG design supports chaining, which means that a DRBG instance can use another parent DRBG instance instead of the default entropy source to obtain fresh random input for reseeding, provided that 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 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.
