.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
\fIRAND_add()\fR mixes the \fBnum\fR bytes at \fBbuf\fR into the PRNG state. Thus,
|
|
if the data at \fBbuf\fR are unpredictable to an adversary, this
|
|
increases the uncertainty about the state and makes the PRNG output
|
|
less predictable. Suitable input comes from user interaction (random
|
|
key presses, mouse movements) and certain hardware events. The
|
|
\fBentropy\fR argument is (the lower bound of) an estimate of how much
|
|
randomness is contained in \fBbuf\fR, measured in bytes. Details about
|
|
sources of randomness and how to estimate their entropy can be found
|
|
in the literature, e.g. RFC 1750.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIRAND_add()\fR may be called with sensitive data such as user entered
|
|
passwords. The seed values cannot be recovered from the PRNG output.
|
|
.PP
|
|
OpenSSL makes sure that the PRNG state is unique for each thread. On
|
|
systems that provide \f(CW/dev/urandom\fR, the randomness device is used
|
|
to seed the PRNG transparently. However, on all other systems, the
|
|
application is responsible for seeding the PRNG by calling \fIRAND_add()\fR,
|
|
the \fIRAND_egd(3)|RAND_egd(3)\fR manpage
|
|
or the \fIRAND_load_file(3)|RAND_load_file(3)\fR manpage.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIRAND_seed()\fR is equivalent to \fIRAND_add()\fR when \fBnum == entropy\fR.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIRAND_event()\fR collects the entropy from Windows events such as mouse
|
|
movements and other user interaction. It should be called with the
|
|
\fBiMsg\fR, \fBwParam\fR and \fBlParam\fR arguments of \fIall\fR messages sent to
|
|
the window procedure. It will estimate the entropy contained in the
|
|
event message (if any), and add it to the PRNG. The program can then
|
|
process the messages as usual.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIRAND_screen()\fR function is available for the convenience of Windows
|
|
programmers. It adds the current contents of the screen to the PRNG.
|
|
For applications that can catch Windows events, seeding the PRNG by
|
|
calling \fIRAND_event()\fR is a significantly better source of
|
|
randomness. It should be noted that both methods cannot be used on
|
|
servers that run without user interaction.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
\fIRAND_status()\fR and \fIRAND_event()\fR return 1 if the PRNG has been seeded
|
|
with enough data, 0 otherwise.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The other functions do not return values.

|
|
\fIRAND_seed()\fR and \fIRAND_screen()\fR are available in all versions of SSLeay
|
|
and OpenSSL. \fIRAND_add()\fR and \fIRAND_status()\fR have been added in OpenSSL
|
|
0.9.5, \fIRAND_event()\fR in OpenSSL 0.9.5a.
