#include <secure_random.h>

Detailed Description

Class for generating cryptographically strong random sequences. The following systems are used:

• Windows: CryptGenRandom (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa379942(v=vs.85).aspx)
• Linux: \/dev/random
• MacOS: random (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man3/random.3.html)

GetDefaultProvider()

static MAXON_METHOD SecureRandomProvider GetDefaultProvider ( )

static

Gets a provider for the CSPRNG.

Returns

The provider. If the return value is nullptr the function failed.

GetRandomNumber()

static MAXON_METHOD Bool GetRandomNumber ( SecureRandomProvider  provider, const Block< Byte > &  buffer  )

static

Gets a provider for the CSPRNG.

Returns

The provider. If the return value is nullptr the function failed. Fills the buffer with cryptographically strong random bytes. example: SecureRandom::GetRandomNumber(provider, ToBlock<Byte>(certificateBuffer, SIZEOF(certificateBuffer)));

Parameters

[in]	provider	The secure random provider.
[in]	buffer	A pointer to a buffer that is to be filled.

Returns

True, if the buffer was filled successfully, false otherwise.
