4
5 EVP_RAND-TEST-RAND - The test EVP_RAND implementation
6
7 =head1 DESCRIPTION
8
9 Support for a test generator through the B<EVP_RAND> API. This generator is
10 for test purposes only, it does not generate random numbers.
11
12 =head2 Identity
13
14 "TEST-RAND" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
15 EVP_RAND_fetch() function.
16
17 =head2 Supported parameters
18
19 The supported parameters are:
20
21 =over 4
22
23 =item "state" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE>) <integer>
24
25 These parameter works as described in L<EVP_RAND(3)/PARAMETERS>.
26
27 =item "strength" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH>) <unsigned integer>
28
29 =item "reseed_requests" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS>) <unsigned integer>
30
31 =item "reseed_time_interval" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL>) <integer>
32
33 =item "max_request" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS>) <unsigned integer>
34
35 =item "min_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>
36
37 =item "max_entropylen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN>) <unsigned integer>
38
39 =item "min_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>
40
41 =item "max_noncelen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN>) <unsigned integer>
42
43 =item "max_perslen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN>) <unsigned integer>
44
45 =item "max_adinlen" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN>) <unsigned integer>
46
47 =item "reseed_counter" (B<OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER>) <unsigned integer>
48
49 These parameters work as described in L<EVP_RAND(3)/PARAMETERS>, except that
50 they can all be set as well as read.
51
52 =item "test_entropy" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_ENTROPY>) <octet string>
53
54 Sets the bytes returned when the test generator is sent an entropy request.
55 When entropy is requested, these bytes are treated as a cyclic buffer and they
56 are repeated as required.  The current position is remembered across generate
57 calls.
58
59 =item "test_nonce" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_NONCE>) <octet string>
60
61 Sets the bytes returned when the test generator is sent a nonce request.
62 Each nonce request will return all of the bytes.
