2 ------- Strong random data generation on a Macintosh (pre - OS X) ------
4 -- GENERAL: We aim to generate unpredictable bits without explicit
5 user interaction. A general review of the problem may be found
6 in RFC 1750, "Randomness Recommendations for Security", and some
7 more discussion, of general and Mac-specific issues has appeared
8 in "Using and Creating Cryptographic- Quality Random Numbers" by
9 Jon Callas (www.merrymeet.com/jon/usingrandom.html).
11 The data and entropy estimates provided below are based on my
12 limited experimentation and estimates, rather than by any
13 rigorous study, and the entropy estimates tend to be optimistic.
14 They should not be considered absolute.
16 Some of the information being collected may be correlated in
17 subtle ways. That includes mouse positions, timings, and disk
18 size measurements. Some obvious correlations will be eliminated
19 by the programmer, but other, weaker ones may remain. The
20 reliability of the code depends on such correlations being
21 poorly understood, both by us and by potential interceptors.
23 This package has been planned to be used with OpenSSL, v. 0.9.5.
24 It requires the OpenSSL function RAND_add.
26 -- OTHER WORK: Some source code and other details have been
27 published elsewhere, but I haven't found any to be satisfactory
28 for the Mac per se:
30 * The Linux random number generator (by Theodore Ts'o, in
31 drivers/char/random.c), is a carefully designed open-source
32 crypto random number package. It collects data from a variety
33 of sources, including mouse, keyboard and other interrupts.
34 One nice feature is that it explicitly estimates the entropy
35 of the data it collects. Some of its features (e.g. interrupt
36 timing) cannot be reliably exported to the Mac without using
37 undocumented APIs.
39 * Truerand by Don P. Mitchell and Matt Blaze uses variations
40 between different timing mechanisms on the same system. This
41 has not been tested on the Mac, but requires preemptive
42 multitasking, and is hardware-dependent, and can't be relied
43 on to work well if only one oscillator is present.
45 * Cryptlib's RNG for the Mac (RNDMAC.C by Peter Gutmann),
46 gathers a lot of information about the machine and system
47 environment. Unfortunately, much of it is constant from one
48 startup to the next. In other words, the random seed could be
49 the same from one day to the next. Some of the APIs are
50 hardware-dependent, and not all are compatible with Carbon (OS
51 X). Incidentally, the EGD library is based on the UNIX entropy
52 gathering methods in cryptlib, and isn't suitable for MacOS
53 either.
55 * Mozilla (and perhaps earlier versions of Netscape) uses the
56 time of day (in seconds) and an uninitialized local variable
57 to seed the random number generator. The time of day is known
58 to an outside interceptor (to within the accuracy of the
59 system clock). The uninitialized variable could easily be
60 identical between subsequent launches of an application, if it
61 is reached through the same path.
63 * OpenSSL provides the function RAND_screen(), by G. van
64 Oosten, which hashes the contents of the screen to generate a
65 seed. This is not useful for an extension or for an
66 application which launches at startup time, since the screen
67 is likely to look identical from one launch to the next. This
68 method is also rather slow.
70 * Using variations in disk drive seek times has been proposed
71 (Davis, Ihaka and Fenstermacher, world.std.com/~dtd/;
72 Jakobsson, Shriver, Hillyer and Juels,
73 www.bell-labs.com/user/shriver/random.html). These variations
74 appear to be due to air turbulence inside the disk drive
75 mechanism, and are very strongly unpredictable. Unfortunately
76 this technique is slow, and some implementations of it may be
77 patented (see Shriver's page above.) It of course cannot be
78 used with a RAM disk.
80 -- TIMING: On the 601 PowerPC the time base register is guaranteed
81 to change at least once every 10 addi instructions, i.e. 10
82 cycles. On a 60 MHz machine (slowest PowerPC) this translates to
83 a resolution of 1/6 usec. Newer machines seem to be using a 10
84 cycle resolution as well.
86 For 68K Macs, the Microseconds() call may be used. See Develop
87 issue 29 on the Apple developer site
88 (developer.apple.com/dev/techsupport/develop/issue29/minow.html)
89 for information on its accuracy and resolution. The code below
90 has been tested only on PowerPC based machines.
92 The time from machine startup to the launch of an application in
93 the startup folder has a variance of about 1.6 msec on a new G4
94 machine with a defragmented and optimized disk, most extensions
95 off and no icons on the desktop. This can be reasonably taken as
96 a lower bound on the variance. Most of this variation is likely
97 due to disk seek time variability. The distribution of startup
98 times is probably not entirely even or uncorrelated. This needs
99 to be investigated, but I am guessing that it not a majpor
100 problem. Entropy = log2 (1600/0.166) ~= 13 bits on a 60 MHz
101 machine, ~16 bits for a 450 MHz machine.
103 User-launched application startup times will have a variance of
104 a second or more relative to machine startup time. Entropy >~22
105 bits.
107 Machine startup time is available with a 1-second resolution. It
108 is predictable to no better a minute or two, in the case of
109 people who show up punctually to work at the same time and
110 immediately start their computer. Using the scheduled startup
111 feature (when available) will cause the machine to start up at
112 the same time every day, making the value predictable. Entropy
113 >~7 bits, or 0 bits with scheduled startup.
115 The time of day is of course known to an outsider and thus has 0
116 entropy if the system clock is regularly calibrated.
118 -- KEY TIMING: A very fast typist (120 wpm) will have a typical
119 inter-key timing interval of 100 msec. We can assume a variance
120 of no less than 2 msec -- maybe. Do good typists have a constant
121 rhythm, like drummers? Since what we measure is not the
122 key-generated interrupt but the time at which the key event was
123 taken off the event queue, our resolution is roughly the time
124 between process switches, at best 1 tick (17 msec). I therefore
125 consider this technique questionable and not very useful for
126 obtaining high entropy data on the Mac.
128 -- MOUSE POSITION AND TIMING: The high bits of the mouse position
129 are far from arbitrary, since the mouse tends to stay in a few
130 limited areas of the screen. I am guessing that the position of
131 the mouse is arbitrary within a 6 pixel square. Since the mouse
132 stays still for long periods of time, it should be sampled only
133 after it was moved, to avoid correlated data. This gives an
134 entropy of log2(6*6) ~= 5 bits per measurement.
136 The time during which the mouse stays still can vary from zero
137 to, say, 5 seconds (occasionally longer). If the still time is
138 measured by sampling the mouse during null events, and null
139 events are received once per tick, its resolution is 1/60th of a
140 second, giving an entropy of log2 (60*5) ~= 8 bits per
141 measurement. Since the distribution of still times is uneven,
142 this estimate is on the high side.
144 For simplicity and compatibility across system versions, the
145 mouse is to be sampled explicitly (e.g. in the event loop),
146 rather than in a time manager task.
148 -- STARTUP DISK TOTAL FILE SIZE: Varies typically by at least 20k
149 from one startup to the next, with 'minimal' computer use. Won't
150 vary at all if machine is started again immediately after
151 startup (unless virtual memory is on), but any application which
152 uses the web and caches information to disk is likely to cause
153 this much variation or more. The variation is probably not
154 random, but I don't know in what way. File sizes tend to be
155 divisible by 4 bytes since file format fields are often
156 long-aligned. Entropy > log2 (20000/4) ~= 12 bits.
158 -- STARTUP DISK FIRST AVAILABLE ALLOCATION BLOCK: As the volume
159 gets fragmented this could be anywhere in principle. In a
160 perfectly unfragmented volume this will be strongly correlated
161 with the total file size on the disk. With more fragmentation
162 comes less certainty. I took the variation in this value to be
163 1/8 of the total file size on the volume.
165 -- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: The code here requires System 7.0 and above
166 (for Gestalt and Microseconds calls). All the calls used are
167 Carbon-compatible.
