Member Function Documentation

accepts_input()

virtual bool Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::accepts_input ( ) const

pure virtualinherited

Returns false if it is known that this RNG object is not able to accept externally provided inputs (via add_entropy, randomize_with_input, etc). In this case, any such provided inputs are ignored.

If this function returns true, then inputs may or may not be accepted.

Implemented in Botan::Null_RNG, Botan::TPM_RNG, Botan::Stateful_RNG, Botan::PKCS11::PKCS11_RNG, Botan::RDRAND_RNG, Botan::System_RNG, and Botan::AutoSeeded_RNG.

Referenced by Botan::System_RNG::accepts_input(), Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::randomize_with_ts_input(), Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::reseed(), and Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::reseed_from_rng().

add_entropy()

virtual void Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::add_entropy ( const uint8_t  input[], size_t  length  )

pure virtualinherited

Incorporate some additional data into the RNG state. For example adding nonces or timestamps from a peer's protocol message can help hedge against VM state rollback attacks. A few RNG types do not accept any externally provided input, in which case this function is a no-op.

Parameters

input	a byte array containg the entropy to be added
length	the length of the byte array in

Implemented in Botan::Null_RNG, Botan::HMAC_DRBG, Botan::ChaCha_RNG, Botan::TPM_RNG, Botan::RDRAND_RNG, Botan::AutoSeeded_RNG, and Botan::System_RNG.

randomize_with_input()

void Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::randomize_with_input ( uint8_t  output[], size_t  output_len, const uint8_t  input[], size_t  input_len  )

virtualinherited

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

output	buffer to hold the random output
output_len	size of the output buffer in bytes
input	entropy buffer to incorporate
input_len	size of the input buffer in bytes

randomize_with_ts_input()

void Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::randomize_with_ts_input ( uint8_t  output[], size_t  output_len  )

virtualinherited

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.
