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

64 * DOC: Random number generator API
66 * The random number generator API is used with the ciphers of type
67 * CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_RNG (listed as type "rng" in /proc/crypto)
71 * crypto_alloc_rng() -- allocate RNG handle
72 * @alg_name: is the cra_name / name or cra_driver_name / driver name of the
73 * message digest cipher
74 * @type: specifies the type of the cipher
75 * @mask: specifies the mask for the cipher
77 * Allocate a cipher handle for a random number generator. The returned struct
78 * crypto_rng is the cipher handle that is required for any subsequent
79 * API invocation for that random number generator.
81 * For all random number generators, this call creates a new private copy of
82 * the random number generator that does not share a state with other
83 * instances. The only exception is the "krng" random number generator which
84 * is a kernel crypto API use case for the get_random_bytes() function of the
87 * Return: allocated cipher handle in case of success; IS_ERR() is true in case
88 * of an error, PTR_ERR() returns the error code.
