=head1 NAME
ossl_rand_get_entropy, ossl_rand_get_user_entropy, ossl_rand_cleanup_entropy,
ossl_rand_get_nonce, ossl_rand_get_user_nonce, ossl_rand_cleanup_nonce
- get seed material from the operating system
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include "crypto/rand.h"
size_t ossl_rand_get_entropy(OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle,
unsigned char **pout, int entropy,
size_t min_len, size_t max_len);
size_t ossl_rand_get_user_entropy(OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle,
unsigned char **pout, int entropy,
size_t min_len, size_t max_len);
void ossl_rand_cleanup_entropy(OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle,
unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
size_t ossl_rand_get_nonce(OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle,
unsigned char **pout, size_t min_len,
size_t max_len, const void *salt, size_t salt_len);
size_t ossl_rand_get_user_nonce(OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle, unsigned char **pout,
size_t min_len, size_t max_len,
const void *salt, size_t salt_len);
void ossl_rand_cleanup_nonce(OSSL_CORE_HANDLE *handle,
unsigned char *buf, size_t len);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
ossl_rand_get_entropy() retrieves seeding material from the operating system.
The seeding material will have at least I<entropy> bytes of randomness and is
stored in a buffer which contains at least I<min_len> and at most I<max_len>
bytes. The buffer address is stored in I<*pout> and the buffer length is
returned to the caller.
ossl_rand_get_user_entropy() is the same as ossl_rand_get_entropy()
except that it retrieves the seeding material from the library context's
DRBG seed source. By default this is the operating system but it can
be changed by calling L<RAND_set_seed_source_type(3)>.
ossl_rand_cleanup_entropy() cleanses and frees any storage allocated by
ossl_rand_get_entropy() or ossl_rand_get_user_entropy(). The entropy
buffer is pointed to by I<buf> and is of length I<len> bytes.
ossl_rand_get_nonce() retrieves a nonce using the passed I<salt> parameter
of length I<salt_len> and operating system specific information.
The I<salt> should contain uniquely identifying information and this is
included, in an unspecified manner, as part of the output.
The output is stored in a buffer which contains at least I<min_len> and at
most I<max_len> bytes. The buffer address is stored in I<*pout> and the
buffer length returned to the caller.
ossl_rand_get_user_nonce() is the same as ossl_rand_get_nonce() except
that it retrieves the seeding material from the library context's DRBG
seed source. By default this is the operating system but it can be
changed by calling L<RAND_set_seed_source_type(3)>.
ossl_rand_cleanup_nonce() cleanses and frees any storage allocated by
ossl_rand_get_nonce() or ossl_rand_get_user_nonce(). The nonce buffer
is pointed to by I<buf> and is of length I<len> bytes.
=head1 NOTES
FIPS providers 3.0.0, 3.0.8 and 3.0.9 incorrectly pass a provider
internal pointer to ossl_rand_get_entropy(), ossl_rand_cleanup_entropy(),
ossl_rand_get_nonce() and ossl_rand_cleanup_nonce(). This pointer cannot
be safely dereferenced.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
ossl_rand_get_entropy(), ossl_rand_get_user_entropy(),
ossl_rand_get_nonce() and ossl_rand_get_user_nonce() return the number
of bytes in I<*pout> or 0 on error.
=head1 HISTORY
The functions ossl_rand_get_user_entropy() and ossl_rand_get_user_nonce()
were added in OpenSSL 3.0.12, 3.1.4 and 3.2.0.
The remaining functions described here were all added in OpenSSL 3.0.
