49 SILC SilcRng State context.
51 This object is used by the random number generator to provide
52 variable points where the actual random number is fetched from
53 the random pool. This provides that the data is not fetched always
54 from the same point of the pool. Short description of the fields
60 The index for the random pool buffer. Lowest and current
63 SilcRngStateContext *next
65 Pointer to the next state. If this is the last state this
66 will point to the first state thus providing circular list.
69 typedef struct SilcRngStateContext {
72 struct SilcRngStateContext *next;
76 SILC Random Number Generator object.
78 This object holds random pool which is used to generate the random
79 numbers used by various routines needing cryptographically strong
80 random numbers. Following short descriptions of the fields.
84 The random pool. This buffer holds the random data. This is
85 frequently stirred thus providing ever changing randomnes.
89 Key used in stirring the random pool. The pool is encrypted
90 with SHA1 hash function in CFB (Cipher Feedback) mode.
92 SilcSilcRngState state
94 State object that is used to get the next position for the
95 random pool. This position is used to fetch data from pool
96 or to save the data to the pool. The state changes everytime
101 Hash object (SHA1) used to make the CFB encryption to the
102 random pool. This is allocated when RNG object is allocated and
103 free'd when RNG object is free'd.
107 Threshhold to indicate when it is required to acquire more
108 noise from the environment. More soft noise is acquired after
109 64 bits of output and hard noise every 160 bits of output.
