Many of the new types introduced by OpenSSL 3.0 have an OSSL_ prefix, e.g., OSSL_CALLBACK, OSSL_PARAM, OSSL_ALGORITHM, OSSL_SERIALIZER. The OPENSSL_CTX type stands out a little by using a different prefix. For consistency reasons, this type is renamed to OSSL_LIB_CTX.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The EVP RAND routines are a high-level interface to random number generators
|
|
both deterministic and not.
|
|
If you just want to generate random bytes then you don't need to use
|
|
these functions: just call RAND_bytes() or RAND_priv_bytes().
|
|
If you want to do more, these calls should be used instead of the older
|
|
RAND and RAND_DRBG functions.
|
|
|
|
After creating a B<EVP_RAND_CTX> for the required algorithm using
|
|
EVP_RAND_CTX_new(), inputs to the algorithm are supplied
|
|
using calls to EVP_RAND_set_ctx_params() before
|
|
calling EVP_RAND_instantiate() and then EVP_RAND_generate() to produce
|
|
cryptographically secure random bytes.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Types
|
|
|
|
B<EVP_RAND> is a type that holds the implementation of a RAND.
|
|
|
|
B<EVP_RAND_CTX> is a context type that holds the algorithm inputs.
|
|
B<EVP_RAND_CTX> structures are reference counted.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Algorithm implementation fetching
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_fetch() fetches an implementation of a RAND I<algorithm>, given
|
|
a library context I<libctx> and a set of I<properties>.
|
|
See L<provider(7)/Fetching algorithms> for further information.
|
|
|
|
The returned value must eventually be freed with
|
|
L<EVP_RAND_free(3)>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_up_ref() increments the reference count of an already fetched
|
|
RAND.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_free() frees a fetched algorithm.
|
|
NULL is a valid parameter, for which this function is a no-op.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Context manipulation functions
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_CTX_new() creates a new context for the RAND implementation I<rand>.
|
|
If not NULL, I<parent> specifies the seed source for this implementation.
|
|
Not all random number generators need to have a seed source specified.
|
|
If a parent is required, a NULL I<parent> will utilise the operating
|
|
system entropy sources.
|
|
It is recommended to minimise the number of random number generators that
|
|
rely on the operating system for their randomness because this is often scarce.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_CTX_free() frees up the context I<ctx>. If I<ctx> is NULL, nothing
|
|
is done.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_CTX_rand() returns the B<EVP_RAND> associated with the context
|
|
I<ctx>.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Random Number Generator Functions
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_instantiate() instantiates the RAND I<ctx> with a minimum security
|
|
strength of <strength> and personalisation string I<pstr> of length <pstr_len>.
|
|
If I<prediction_resistance> is specified, fresh entropy from a live source
|
|
will be sought. This call operates as per NIST SP 800-90A and SP 800-90C.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_uninstantiate() uninstantiates the RAND I<ctx> as per
|
|
NIST SP 800-90A and SP 800-90C. Subsequent to this call, the RAND cannot
|
|
be used to generate bytes. It can only be freed or instantiated again.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_generate() produces random bytes from the RAND I<ctx> with the
|
|
additional input I<addin> of length I<addin_len>. The bytes
|
|
produced will meet the security I<strength>.
|
|
If I<prediction_resistance> is specified, fresh entropy from a live source
|
|
will be sought. This call operates as per NIST SP 800-90A and SP 800-90C.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_reseed() reseeds the RAND with new entropy.
|
|
Entropy I<ent> of length I<ent_len> bytes can be supplied as can additional
|
|
input I<addin> of length I<addin_len> bytes. In the FIPS provider, both are
|
|
treated as additional input as per NIST SP-800-90Ar1, Sections 9.1 and 9.2.
|
|
Additional seed material is also drawn from the RAND's parent or the
|
|
operating system. If I<prediction_resistance> is specified, fresh entropy
|
|
from a live source will be sought. This call operates as per NIST SP 800-90A
|
|
and SP 800-90C.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_nonce() creates a nonce in I<out> of maximum length I<outlen>
|
|
bytes from the RAND I<ctx>. The function returns the length of the generated
|
|
nonce. If I<out> is NULL, the length is still returned but no generation
|
|
takes place. This allows a caller to dynamically allocate a buffer of the
|
|
appropriate size.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_enable_locking() enables locking for the RAND I<ctx> and all of
|
|
its parents. After this I<ctx> will operate in a thread safe manner, albeit
|
|
more slowly.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_get_params() retrieves details about the implementation
|
|
I<rand>.
|
|
The set of parameters given with I<params> determine exactly what
|
|
parameters should be retrieved.
|
|
Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is
|
|
simply ignored.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_get_ctx_params() retrieves chosen parameters, given the
|
|
context I<ctx> and its underlying context.
|
|
The set of parameters given with I<params> determine exactly what
|
|
parameters should be retrieved.
|
|
Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is
|
|
simply ignored.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_set_ctx_params() passes chosen parameters to the underlying
|
|
context, given a context I<ctx>.
|
|
The set of parameters given with I<params> determine exactly what
|
|
parameters are passed down.
|
|
Note that a parameter that is unknown in the underlying context is
|
|
simply ignored.
|
|
Also, what happens when a needed parameter isn't passed down is
|
|
defined by the implementation.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_gettable_params(), EVP_RAND_gettable_ctx_params() and
|
|
EVP_RAND_settable_ctx_params() get a constant B<OSSL_PARAM> array that
|
|
describes the retrievable and settable parameters, i.e. parameters that
|
|
can be used with EVP_RAND_get_params(), EVP_RAND_get_ctx_params()
|
|
and EVP_RAND_set_ctx_params(), respectively.
|
|
See L<OSSL_PARAM(3)> for the use of B<OSSL_PARAM> as parameter descriptor.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Information functions
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_strength() returns the security strength of the RAND I<ctx>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_state() returns the current state of the RAND I<ctx>.
|
|
States defined by the OpenSSL RNGs are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_STATE_UNINITIALISED: this RNG is currently uninitialised.
|
|
The instantiate call will change this to the ready state.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_STATE_READY: this RNG is currently ready to generate output.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_STATE_ERROR: this RNG is in an error state.
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_is_a() returns 1 if I<rand> is an implementation of an
|
|
algorithm that's identifiable with I<name>, otherwise 0.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_provider() returns the provider that holds the implementation
|
|
of the given I<rand>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_do_all_provided() traverses all RAND implemented by all activated
|
|
providers in the given library context I<libctx>, and for each of the
|
|
implementations, calls the given function I<fn> with the implementation method
|
|
and the given I<arg> as argument.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_number() returns the internal dynamic number assigned to
|
|
I<rand>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_name() returns the canonical name of I<rand>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_names_do_all() traverses all names for I<rand>, and calls
|
|
I<fn> with each name and I<data>.
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND_verify_zeroization() confirms if the internal DRBG state is
|
|
currently zeroed. This is used by the FIPS provider to support the mandatory
|
|
self tests.
|
|
|
