Detailed Description

Entropy Source and DRNG Manager (ESDM) is a Linux/Unix based PRNG manager, which can be seeded from NTG.1/SP800-90B sources.

See:

Different entropy sources can be configured in respect of being active and how much entropy is accounted for each of them.

ESDM tracks its seed and reseed status and blocks, when not fully seeded. For this functionality, the esdm_rpcc_get_random_bytes_pr (prediction resistant) or esdm_rpcc_get_random_bytes_full (fully seeded) calls have to be used.

Configurable modes:

  • fully seeded (-> fast): provide entropy from a DRBG/PRNG after beeing fully seeded, block until this point is reached, reseed from after a time and/or invocation limit, block again if reseeding is not possible
  • prediction resistance (-> slow): reseed ESDM with fresh entropy after each invocation

You typically want to use the fast fully seeded mode, which is the default.

Instances of this class communicate over RPC with ESDM. The esdm_rpc_client library, provided by ESDM, is leveraged for this.

Thread safety: It is fine to construct, destruct and use objects of this class concurrently. The communication with ESDM is thread-safe, as handled by esdm_rpc_client. The initialization of esdm_rpc_client is not thread safe, therefore this class takes care of it, with its embedded ESDM_Context.

◆ fill_bytes_with_input()

void Botan::ESDM_RNG::fill_bytes_with_input ( std::span< uint8_t > output,

Generic interface to provide entropy to a concrete implementation and to fill a given buffer with random output. Both output and input may be empty and should be ignored in that case. If both buffers are non-empty implementations should typically first apply the input data and then generate random data into output.

This method must be implemented by all RandomNumberGenerator sub-classes.

Parameters
outputByte buffer to write random bytes into. Implementations should not read from this buffer.
inputByte buffer that may contain bytes to be incorporated in the RNG's internal state. Implementations may choose to ignore the bytes in this buffer.

Incorporate entropy into the RNG state then produce output. Some RNG types implement this using a single operation, default calls add_entropy + randomize in sequence.

Use this to further bind the outputs to your current process/protocol state. For instance if generating a new key for use in a session, include a session ID or other such value. See NIST SP 800-90 A, B, C series for more ideas.

Parameters
outputbuffer to hold the random output
inputentropy buffer to incorporate
Exceptions
PRNG_Unseededif the RNG fails because it has not enough entropy
Exceptionif the RNG fails
Exceptionmay throw if the RNG accepts input, but adding the entropy failed.

◆ randomize_with_ts_input() [1/2]

void Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::randomize_with_ts_input ( std::span< uint8_t > output)
inherited

This calls randomize_with_input using some timestamps as extra input.

For a stateful RNG using non-random but potentially unique data the extra input can help protect against problems with fork, VM state rollback, or other cases where somehow an RNG state is duplicated. If both of the duplicated RNG states later incorporate a timestamp (and the timestamps don't themselves repeat), their outputs will diverge.

Parameters
outputbuffer to hold the random output
Exceptions
PRNG_Unseededif the RNG fails because it has not enough entropy
Exceptionif the RNG fails
Exceptionmay throw if the RNG accepts input, but adding the entropy failed.
