|
** PR_GetRandomNoise() -- Get random noise from the host platform
|
|
**
|
|
** Description:
|
|
** PR_GetRandomNoise() provides, depending on platform, a random value.
|
|
** The length of the random value is dependent on platform and the
|
|
** platform's ability to provide a random value at that moment.
|
|
**
|
|
** The intent of PR_GetRandomNoise() is to provide a "seed" value for a
|
|
** another random number generator that may be suitable for
|
|
** cryptographic operations. This implies that the random value
|
|
** provided may not be, by itself, cryptographically secure. The value
|
|
** generated by PR_GetRandomNoise() is at best, extremely difficult to
|
|
** predict and is as non-deterministic as the underlying platfrom can
|
|
** provide.
|
|
**
|
|
** Inputs:
|
|
** buf -- pointer to a caller supplied buffer to contain the
|
|
** generated random number. buf must be at least as large as
|
|
** is specified in the 'size' argument.
|
|
**
|
|
** size -- the requested size of the generated random number
|
|
**
|
|
** Outputs:
|
|
** a random number provided in 'buf'.
|
|
**
|
|
** Returns:
|
|
** PRSize value equal to the size of the random number actually
|
|
** generated, or zero. The generated size may be less than the size
|
|
** requested. A return value of zero means that PR_GetRandomNoise() is
|
|
** not implemented on this platform, or there is no available noise
|
|
** available to be returned at the time of the call.
|
|
**
|
|
** Restrictions:
|
|
** Calls to PR_GetRandomNoise() may use a lot of CPU on some platforms.
|
|
** Some platforms may block for up to a few seconds while they
|
|
** accumulate some noise. Busy machines generate lots of noise, but
|
|
** care is advised when using PR_GetRandomNoise() frequently in your
|
|
** application.
|
|
**
|
|
** History:
|
|
** Parts of the model dependent implementation for PR_GetRandomNoise()
|
|
** were taken in whole or part from code previously in Netscape's NSS
|
|
** component.
