.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
\fIBN_rand()\fR generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number of
|
|
\fBbits\fR bits in length and stores it in \fBrnd\fR. If \fBtop\fR is true, the
|
|
two most significant bits of the number will be set to 1, so that the
|
|
product of two such random numbers will always have 2*\fBbits\fR length.
|
|
If \fBbottom\fR is true, the number will be odd.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\fIBN_pseudo_rand()\fR does the same, but pseudo-random numbers generated by
|
|
this function are not necessarily unpredictable. They can be used for
|
|
non-cryptographic purposes and for certain purposes in cryptographic
|
|
protocols, but usually not for key generation etc.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The PRNG must be seeded prior to calling \fIBN_rand()\fR.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
|
|
\fIBN_rand()\fR and \fIBN_pseudo_rand()\fR return 1 on success, 0 on error.
|
|
The error codes can be obtained by the \fIERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)\fR manpage.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
the \fIbn(3)|bn(3)\fR manpage, the \fIerr(3)|err(3)\fR manpage, the \fIrand(3)|rand(3)\fR manpage,

|
|
.SH "HISTORY"
|
|
\fIBN_rand()\fR is available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL.
|
|
\fIBN_pseudo_rand()\fR was added in OpenSSL 0.9.5.
