Member Function Documentation

accepts_input()

bool Botan::PKCS11::PKCS11_RNG::accepts_input ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

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.

Implements Botan::RandomNumberGenerator.

Definition at line 42 of file p11_randomgenerator.h.

{ return true; }

add_entropy() [1/2]

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

inlineinherited

Definition at line 96 of file rng.h.

add_entropy() [2/2]

void Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::add_entropy ( std::span< const uint8_t > input )

inlineinherited

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 containing the entropy to be added

Exceptions

Exception

may throw if the RNG accepts input, but adding the entropy failed.

randomize_with_input() [1/2]

void Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::randomize_with_input ( std::span< uint8_t > output, std::span< const uint8_t > input )

inlineinherited

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
input	entropy buffer to incorporate

Exceptions

PRNG_Unseeded	if the RNG fails because it has not enough entropy
Exception	if the RNG fails
Exception	may throw if the RNG accepts input, but adding the entropy failed.

randomize_with_ts_input() [1/2]

void Botan::RandomNumberGenerator::randomize_with_ts_input ( std::span< uint8_t > output )

inherited

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.

Parameters

output

buffer to hold the random output

Exceptions

PRNG_Unseeded	if the RNG fails because it has not enough entropy
Exception	if the RNG fails
Exception	may throw if the RNG accepts input, but adding the entropy failed.
