22 * struct rng_alg - random number generator definition
24 * @generate: The function defined by this variable obtains a
25 * random number. The random number generator transform
26 * must generate the random number out of the context
27 * provided with this call, plus any additional data
28 * if provided to the call.
29 * @seed: Seed or reseed the random number generator. With the
30 * invocation of this function call, the random number
31 * generator shall become ready for generation. If the
32 * random number generator requires a seed for setting
33 * up a new state, the seed must be provided by the
34 * consumer while invoking this function. The required
35 * size of the seed is defined with @seedsize .
36 * @set_ent: Set entropy that would otherwise be obtained from
37 * entropy source. Internal use only.
38 * @seedsize: The seed size required for a random number generator
39 * initialization defined with this variable. Some
40 * random number generators does not require a seed
41 * as the seeding is implemented internally without
42 * the need of support by the consumer. In this case,
43 * the seed size is set to zero.
44 * @base: Common crypto API algorithm data structure.
