Member Function Documentation

create()

std::unique_ptr< Entropy_Source > Botan::Entropy_Source::create ( std::string_view type )

static

Return a new entropy source of a particular type, or null Each entropy source may require substantial resources (eg, a file handle or socket instance), so try to share them among multiple RNGs, or just use the preconfigured global list accessed by Entropy_Sources::global_sources()

name()

virtual std::string Botan::Entropy_Source::name ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns

name identifying this entropy source

Implemented in Botan::Getentropy, Botan::Intel_Rdseed, and Botan::Win32_EntropySource.

operator=()

Entropy_Source & Botan::Entropy_Source::operator= ( const Entropy_Source & other )

delete

poll()

virtual size_t Botan::Entropy_Source::poll ( RandomNumberGenerator & rng )

pure virtual

Perform an entropy gathering poll

Parameters

rng	will be provided with entropy via calls to add_entropy

Returns

conservative estimate of actual entropy added to rng during poll

Implemented in Botan::Getentropy, Botan::Intel_Rdseed, and Botan::Win32_EntropySource.
