51 ** PR_GetRandomNoise() -- Get random noise from the host platform
52 **
53 ** Description:
54 ** PR_GetRandomNoise() provides, depending on platform, a random value.
55 ** The length of the random value is dependent on platform and the
56 ** platform's ability to provide a random value at that moment.
57 **
58 ** The intent of PR_GetRandomNoise() is to provide a "seed" value for a
59 ** another random number generator that may be suitable for
60 ** cryptographic operations. This implies that the random value
61 ** provided may not be, by itself, cryptographically secure. The value
62 ** generated by PR_GetRandomNoise() is at best, extremely difficult to
63 ** predict and is as non-deterministic as the underlying platfrom can
64 ** provide.
65 **
66 ** Inputs:
67 ** buf -- pointer to a caller supplied buffer to contain the
68 ** generated random number. buf must be at least as large as
69 ** is specified in the 'size' argument.
70 **
71 ** size -- the requested size of the generated random number
72 **
73 ** Outputs:
74 ** a random number provided in 'buf'.
75 **
76 ** Returns:
77 ** PRSize value equal to the size of the random number actually
78 ** generated, or zero. The generated size may be less than the size
79 ** requested. A return value of zero means that PR_GetRandomNoise() is
80 ** not implemented on this platform, or there is no available noise
81 ** available to be returned at the time of the call.
82 **
83 ** Restrictions:
84 ** Calls to PR_GetRandomNoise() may use a lot of CPU on some platforms.
85 ** Some platforms may block for up to a few seconds while they
86 ** accumulate some noise. Busy machines generate lots of noise, but
87 ** care is advised when using PR_GetRandomNoise() frequently in your
88 ** application.
89 **
90 ** History:
91 ** Parts of the model dependent implementation for PR_GetRandomNoise()
92 ** were taken in whole or part from code previously in Netscape's NSS
93 ** component.
