1=pod 2 3=head1 NAME 4 5EVP_RAND-JITTER - The randomness seed source EVP_RAND implementation 6 7=head1 DESCRIPTION 8 9Support for deterministic random number generator seeding through the 10B<EVP_RAND> API. 11 12This software seed source produces randomness based on tiny CPU 13"jitter" fluctuations. 14 15It is available when OpenSSL is compiled with B<enable-jitter> 16option. When available it is listed in B<openssl list 17-random-generators> and B<openssl info -seeds>. 18 19=head2 Identity 20 21"JITTER" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the 22EVP_RAND_fetch() function. 23 24=head2 Supported parameters 25 26The supported parameters are: 27 28=over 4 29 30=item "state" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE>) <integer> 31 32=item "strength" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH>) <unsigned integer> 33 34=item "max_request" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST>) <unsigned integer> 35 36These parameters work as described in L<EVP_RAND(3)/PARAMETERS>. 37 38=back 39 40=head1 NOTES 41 42A context for the seed source can be obtained by calling: 43 44 EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "JITTER", NULL); 45 EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL); 46 47=head1 EXAMPLES 48 49 EVP_RAND *rand; 50 EVP_RAND_CTX *seed, *rctx; 51 unsigned char bytes[100]; 52 OSSL_PARAM params[2], *p = params; 53 unsigned int strength = 128; 54 55 /* Create and instantiate a seed source */ 56 rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "JITTER", NULL); 57 seed = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL); 58 EVP_RAND_instantiate(seed, strength, 0, NULL, 0, NULL); 59 EVP_RAND_free(rand); 60 61 /* Feed this into a DRBG */ 62 rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "CTR-DRBG", NULL); 63 rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, seed); 64 EVP_RAND_free(rand); 65 66 /* Configure the DRBG */ 67 *p++ = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string(OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_CIPHER, 68 SN_aes_256_ctr, 0); 69 *p = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end(); 70 EVP_RAND_instantiate(rctx, strength, 0, NULL, 0, params); 71 72 EVP_RAND_generate(rctx, bytes, sizeof(bytes), strength, 0, NULL, 0); 73 74 EVP_RAND_CTX_free(rctx); 75 EVP_RAND_CTX_free(seed); 76 77=head1 SEE ALSO 78 79L<EVP_RAND(3)>, 80L<EVP_RAND(3)/PARAMETERS> 81 82=head1 COPYRIGHT 83 84Copyright 2024 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
