=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND-JITTER - The randomness seed source EVP_RAND implementation
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Support for deterministic random number generator seeding through the
|
|
B<EVP_RAND> API.
|
|
|
|
This software seed source produces randomness based on tiny CPU
|
|
"jitter" fluctuations.
|
|
|
|
It is available when OpenSSL is compiled with B<enable-jitter>
|
|
option. When available it is listed in B<openssl list
|
|
-random-generators> and B<openssl info -seeds>.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Identity
|
|
|
|
"JITTER" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
|
|
EVP_RAND_fetch() function.
|
|
|
|
=head2 Supported parameters
|
|
|
|
The supported parameters are:
|
|
|
|
=over 4
|
|
|
|
=item "state" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE>) <integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "strength" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
=item "max_request" (B<OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST>) <unsigned integer>
|
|
|
|
These parameters work as described in L<EVP_RAND(3)/PARAMETERS>.
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
=head1 NOTES
|
|
|
|
A context for the seed source can be obtained by calling:
|
|
|
|
EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "JITTER", NULL);
|
|
EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, NULL);
|
|
|
|
The B<enable-jitter> option was added in OpenSSL 3.4.
|
|
|
|
By specifying the B<enable-fips-jitter> configuration option, the FIPS
|
|
provider will use an internal jitter source for its entropy. Enabling
|
|
this option will cause the FIPS provider to operate in a non-compliant
|
|
mode unless an entropy assessment
|
|
L<ESV|https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/entropy-validations>
|
|
and validation through the
|
|
L<CMVP|https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program>
|
|
are additionally conducted. This option was added in OpenSSL 3.5.
