Typedef Documentation

mbedtls_entropy_context

typedef struct mbedtls_entropy_context mbedtls_entropy_context

Entropy context structure.

mbedtls_entropy_f_source_ptr

typedef int(* mbedtls_entropy_f_source_ptr) (void *data, unsigned char *output, size_t len, size_t *olen)

Entropy poll callback pointer.

Parameters

data	Callback-specific data pointer
output	Data to fill
len	Maximum size to provide
olen	The actual amount of bytes put into the buffer (Can be 0)

Returns

0 if no critical failures occurred, MBEDTLS_ERR_ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED otherwise

mbedtls_entropy_source_state

typedef struct mbedtls_entropy_source_state mbedtls_entropy_source_state

Function Documentation

mbedtls_entropy_add_source()

int mbedtls_entropy_add_source	(	mbedtls_entropy_context *	ctx,
		mbedtls_entropy_f_source_ptr	f_source,
		void *	p_source,
		size_t	threshold,
		int	strong
	)

Adds an entropy source to poll (Thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled)

Parameters

ctx	Entropy context
f_source	Entropy function
p_source	Function data
threshold	Minimum required from source before entropy is released ( with mbedtls_entropy_func() ) (in bytes)
strong	MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_SOURCE_STRONG or MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_SOURCE_WEAK. At least one strong source needs to be added. Weaker sources (such as the cycle counter) can be used as a complement.

Returns

0 if successful or MBEDTLS_ERR_ENTROPY_MAX_SOURCES

mbedtls_entropy_free()

void mbedtls_entropy_free

(

mbedtls_entropy_context *

ctx

)

Free the data in the context.

Parameters

ctx	Entropy context to free

mbedtls_entropy_func()

int mbedtls_entropy_func	(	void *	data,
		unsigned char *	output,
		size_t	len
	)

Retrieve entropy from the accumulator (Maximum length: MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE) (Thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled)

Parameters

data	Entropy context
output	Buffer to fill
len	Number of bytes desired, must be at most MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_BLOCK_SIZE

Returns

0 if successful, or MBEDTLS_ERR_ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED

mbedtls_entropy_gather()

int mbedtls_entropy_gather

(

mbedtls_entropy_context *

ctx

)

Trigger an extra gather poll for the accumulator (Thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled)

Parameters

ctx	Entropy context

Returns

0 if successful, or MBEDTLS_ERR_ENTROPY_SOURCE_FAILED

mbedtls_entropy_init()

void mbedtls_entropy_init

(

mbedtls_entropy_context *

ctx

)

Initialize the context.

Parameters

ctx	Entropy context to initialize

mbedtls_entropy_update_manual()

int mbedtls_entropy_update_manual	(	mbedtls_entropy_context *	ctx,
		const unsigned char *	data,
		size_t	len
	)

Add data to the accumulator manually (Thread-safe if MBEDTLS_THREADING_C is enabled)

Parameters

ctx	Entropy context
data	Data to add
len	Length of data

Returns
