The BIGNUM rand functions were previously disabled for the FIPS module. We can now re-enable them. Reviewed-by: Matthias St. Pierre <Matthias.St.Pierre@ncp-e.com> (Merged from https://github.com/openssl/openssl/pull/9193)

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
BN_rand_ex() generate a cryptographically strong pseudo-random
|
|
number of B<bits> in length and stores it in B<rnd> using the random number
|
|
generator for the library context associated with B<ctx>. The parameter B<ctx>
|
|
may be NULL in which case the default library context is used.
|
|
If B<bits> is less than zero, or too small to
|
|
accommodate the requirements specified by the B<top> and B<bottom>
|
|
parameters, an error is returned.
|
|
The B<top> parameters specifies
|
|
requirements on the most significant bit of the generated number.
|
|
If it is B<BN_RAND_TOP_ANY>, there is no constraint.
|
|
If it is B<BN_RAND_TOP_ONE>, the top bit must be one.
|
|
If it is B<BN_RAND_TOP_TWO>, the two most significant bits of
|
|
the number will be set to 1, so that the product of two such random
|
|
numbers will always have 2*B<bits> length.
|
|
If B<bottom> is B<BN_RAND_BOTTOM_ODD>, the number will be odd; if it
|
|
is B<BN_RAND_BOTTOM_ANY> it can be odd or even.
|
|
If B<bits> is 1 then B<top> cannot also be B<BN_RAND_FLG_TOPTWO>.
|
|
|
|
BN_rand() is the same as BN_rand_ex() except that the default library context
|
|
is always used.
|
|
|
|
BN_rand_range_ex() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random
|
|
number B<rnd> in the range 0 E<lt>= B<rnd> E<lt> B<range> using the random number
|
|
generator for the library context associated with B<ctx>. The parameter B<ctx>
|
|
may be NULL in which case the default library context is used.
|
|
|
|
BN_rand_range() is the same as BN_rand_range_ex() except that the default
|
|
library context is always used.
|
|
|
|
BN_priv_rand_ex(), BN_priv_rand(), BN_priv_rand_rand_ex() and
|
|
BN_priv_rand_range() have the same semantics as BN_rand_ex(), BN_rand(),
|
|
BN_rand_range_ex() and BN_rand_range() respectively. They are intended to be
|
|
used for generating values that should remain private, and mirror the
|
|
same difference between L<RAND_bytes(3)> and L<RAND_priv_bytes(3)>.
|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
Always check the error return value of these functions and do not take
|
|
randomness for granted: an error occurs if the CSPRNG has not been
|
|
seeded with enough randomness to ensure an unpredictable byte sequence.
|
|
|
|
=head1 RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
The functions return 1 on success, 0 on error.
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)>.

=head1 HISTORY
|
|
|
|
=over 2
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Starting with OpenSSL release 1.1.0, BN_pseudo_rand() has been identical
|
|
to BN_rand() and BN_pseudo_rand_range() has been identical to
|
|
BN_rand_range().
|
|
The "pseudo" functions should not be used and may be deprecated in
|
|
a future release.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
BN_priv_rand() and BN_priv_rand_range() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
The BN_rand_ex(), BN_priv_rand_ex(), BN_rand_range_ex() and
|
|
BN_priv_rand_range_ex() functions were added in OpenSSL 3.0.
