|
| +** 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.
