Deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, can be hidden entirely by defining

B<OPENSSL_API_COMPAT> with a suitable version value, see
|
|
L<openssl_user_macros(7)>:
|
|
|
|
int RAND_DRBG_set(RAND_DRBG *drbg,
|
|
int type, unsigned int flags);
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_new_ex() creates a new DRBG instance of the given B<type> for the
|
|
given OPENSSL_CTX <ctx>.
|
|
The <ctx> parameter can be NULL in which case the default OPENSSL_CTX is used.
|
|
RAND_DRBG_new() is the same as RAND_DRBG_new_ex() except that the default
|
|
OPENSSL_CTX is always used.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_set() initializes the B<drbg> with the given B<type> and B<flags>.
|
|
This function is deprecated. Applications should instead use
|
|
RAND_DRBG_new_ex() to create a new DRBG.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_set_defaults() sets the default B<type> and B<flags> for new DRBG
|
|
instances.
|
|
|
|
The DRBG types are AES-CTR, HMAC and HASH so B<type> can be one of the
|
|
following values:
|
|
|
|
NID_aes_128_ctr, NID_aes_192_ctr, NID_aes_256_ctr, NID_sha1, NID_sha224,
|
|
NID_sha256, NID_sha384, NID_sha512, NID_sha512_224, NID_sha512_256,
|
|
NID_sha3_224, NID_sha3_256, NID_sha3_384 or NID_sha3_512.
|
|
|
|
If this method is not called then the default type is given by NID_aes_256_ctr
|
|
and the default flags are zero.
|
|
|
|
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. The supported flags are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item RAND_DRBG_FLAG_CTR_NO_DF
|
|
|
|
Disables the use of the derivation function ctr_df. For an explanation,
|
|
see [NIST SP 800-90A Rev. 1].
|
|
|
|
=item RAND_DRBG_FLAG_HMAC
|
|
|
|
Enables use of HMAC instead of the HASH DRBG.
|
|
|
|
=item RAND_DRBG_FLAG_PRIMARY
|
|
|
|
=item RAND_DRBG_FLAG_PUBLIC
|
|
|
|
=item RAND_DRBG_FLAG_PRIVATE
|
|
|
|
These 3 flags can be used to set the individual DRBG types created. Multiple
|
|
calls are required to set the types to different values. If none of these 3
|
|
flags are used, then the same type and flags are used for all 3 DRBGs in the
|
|
B<drbg> chain (<master>, <public> and <private>).
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_verify_zeroization() confirms if the internal DRBG state is
|
|
currently zeroed.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_new_ex() and RAND_DRBG_new() return a pointer to a DRBG instance
|
|
allocated on the heap.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_set(),
|
|
RAND_DRBG_instantiate(), and
|
|
RAND_DRBG_uninstantiate()
|
|
return 1 on success, and 0 on failure.
|
|
|
|
RAND_DRBG_verify_zeroization() returns 1 if the DRBG state is current zeroed,
|
|
and 0 if not.
|
|
|
|
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.
