/* 
------- Strong random data generation on a Macintosh (pre - OS X) ------
		
--	GENERAL: We aim to generate unpredictable bits without explicit
	user interaction. A general review of the problem may be found
	in RFC 1750, "Randomness Recommendations for Security", and some
	more discussion, of general and Mac-specific issues has appeared
	in "Using and Creating Cryptographic- Quality Random Numbers" by
	Jon Callas (www.merrymeet.com/jon/usingrandom.html).

	The data and entropy estimates provided below are based on my
	limited experimentation and estimates, rather than by any
	rigorous study, and the entropy estimates tend to be optimistic.
	They should not be considered absolute.

	Some of the information being collected may be correlated in
	subtle ways. That includes mouse positions, timings, and disk
	size measurements. Some obvious correlations will be eliminated
	by the programmer, but other, weaker ones may remain. The
	reliability of the code depends on such correlations being
	poorly understood, both by us and by potential interceptors.

	This package has been planned to be used with OpenSSL, v. 0.9.5.
	It requires the OpenSSL function RAND_add. 

--	OTHER WORK: Some source code and other details have been
	published elsewhere, but I haven't found any to be satisfactory
	for the Mac per se:

	* The Linux random number generator (by Theodore Ts'o, in
	  drivers/char/random.c), is a carefully designed open-source
	  crypto random number package. It collects data from a variety
	  of sources, including mouse, keyboard and other interrupts.
	  One nice feature is that it explicitly estimates the entropy
	  of the data it collects. Some of its features (e.g. interrupt
	  timing) cannot be reliably exported to the Mac without using
	  undocumented APIs.

	* Truerand by Don P. Mitchell and Matt Blaze uses variations
	  between different timing mechanisms on the same system. This
	  has not been tested on the Mac, but requires preemptive
	  multitasking, and is hardware-dependent, and can't be relied
	  on to work well if only one oscillator is present.

	* Cryptlib's RNG for the Mac (RNDMAC.C by Peter Gutmann),
	  gathers a lot of information about the machine and system
	  environment. Unfortunately, much of it is constant from one
	  startup to the next. In other words, the random seed could be
	  the same from one day to the next. Some of the APIs are
	  hardware-dependent, and not all are compatible with Carbon (OS
	  X). Incidentally, the EGD library is based on the UNIX entropy
	  gathering methods in cryptlib, and isn't suitable for MacOS
	  either.

	* Mozilla (and perhaps earlier versions of Netscape) uses the
	  time of day (in seconds) and an uninitialized local variable
	  to seed the random number generator. The time of day is known
	  to an outside interceptor (to within the accuracy of the
	  system clock). The uninitialized variable could easily be
	  identical between subsequent launches of an application, if it
	  is reached through the same path.

	* OpenSSL provides the function RAND_screen(), by G. van
	  Oosten, which hashes the contents of the screen to generate a
	  seed. This is not useful for an extension or for an
	  application which launches at startup time, since the screen
	  is likely to look identical from one launch to the next. This
	  method is also rather slow.

	* Using variations in disk drive seek times has been proposed
	  (Davis, Ihaka and Fenstermacher, world.std.com/~dtd/;
	  Jakobsson, Shriver, Hillyer and Juels,
	  www.bell-labs.com/user/shriver/random.html). These variations
	  appear to be due to air turbulence inside the disk drive
	  mechanism, and are very strongly unpredictable. Unfortunately
	  this technique is slow, and some implementations of it may be
	  patented (see Shriver's page above.) It of course cannot be
	  used with a RAM disk.

--	TIMING: On the 601 PowerPC the time base register is guaranteed
	to change at least once every 10 addi instructions, i.e. 10
	cycles. On a 60 MHz machine (slowest PowerPC) this translates to
	a resolution of 1/6 usec. Newer machines seem to be using a 10
	cycle resolution as well.
	
	For 68K Macs, the Microseconds() call may be used. See Develop
	issue 29 on the Apple developer site
	(developer.apple.com/dev/techsupport/develop/issue29/minow.html)
	for information on its accuracy and resolution. The code below
	has been tested only on PowerPC based machines.

	The time from machine startup to the launch of an application in
	the startup folder has a variance of about 1.6 msec on a new G4
	machine with a defragmented and optimized disk, most extensions
	off and no icons on the desktop. This can be reasonably taken as
	a lower bound on the variance. Most of this variation is likely
	due to disk seek time variability. The distribution of startup
	times is probably not entirely even or uncorrelated. This needs
	to be investigated, but I am guessing that it not a majpor
	problem. Entropy = log2 (1600/0.166) ~= 13 bits on a 60 MHz
	machine, ~16 bits for a 450 MHz machine.

	User-launched application startup times will have a variance of
	a second or more relative to machine startup time. Entropy >~22
	bits.

	Machine startup time is available with a 1-second resolution. It
	is predictable to no better a minute or two, in the case of
	people who show up punctually to work at the same time and
	immediately start their computer. Using the scheduled startup
	feature (when available) will cause the machine to start up at
	the same time every day, making the value predictable. Entropy
	>~7 bits, or 0 bits with scheduled startup.

	The time of day is of course known to an outsider and thus has 0
	entropy if the system clock is regularly calibrated.

--	KEY TIMING: A  very fast typist (120 wpm) will have a typical
	inter-key timing interval of 100 msec. We can assume a variance
	of no less than 2 msec -- maybe. Do good typists have a constant
	rhythm, like drummers? Since what we measure is not the
	key-generated interrupt but the time at which the key event was
	taken off the event queue, our resolution is roughly the time
	between process switches, at best 1 tick (17 msec). I  therefore
	consider this technique questionable and not very useful for
	obtaining high entropy data on the Mac.

--	MOUSE POSITION AND TIMING: The high bits of the mouse position
	are far from arbitrary, since the mouse tends to stay in a few
	limited areas of the screen. I am guessing that the position of
	the mouse is arbitrary within a 6 pixel square. Since the mouse
	stays still for long periods of time, it should be sampled only
	after it was moved, to avoid correlated data. This gives an
	entropy of log2(6*6) ~= 5 bits per measurement.

	The time during which the mouse stays still can vary from zero
	to, say, 5 seconds (occasionally longer). If the still time is
	measured by sampling the mouse during null events, and null
	events are received once per tick, its resolution is 1/60th of a
	second, giving an entropy of log2 (60*5) ~= 8 bits per
	measurement. Since the distribution of still times is uneven,
	this estimate is on the high side.

	For simplicity and compatibility across system versions, the
	mouse is to be sampled explicitly (e.g. in the event loop),
	rather than in a time manager task.

--	STARTUP DISK TOTAL FILE SIZE: Varies typically by at least 20k
	from one startup to the next, with 'minimal' computer use. Won't
	vary at all if machine is started again immediately after
	startup (unless virtual memory is on), but any application which
	uses the web and caches information to disk is likely to cause
	this much variation or more. The variation is probably not
	random, but I don't know in what way. File sizes tend to be
	divisible by 4 bytes since file format fields are often
	long-aligned. Entropy > log2 (20000/4) ~= 12 bits.
	
--	STARTUP DISK FIRST AVAILABLE ALLOCATION BLOCK: As the volume
	gets fragmented this could be anywhere in principle. In a
	perfectly unfragmented volume this will be strongly correlated
	with the total file size on the disk. With more fragmentation
	comes less certainty. I took the variation in this value to be
	1/8 of the total file size on the volume.

--	SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The code here requires System 7.0 and above
	(for Gestalt and Microseconds calls). All the calls used are
	Carbon-compatible.
