4  * \brief    This file contains definitions and functions for the
5  *           CTR_DRBG pseudorandom generator.
6  *
7  * CTR_DRBG is a standardized way of building a PRNG from a block-cipher
8  * in counter mode operation, as defined in <em>NIST SP 800-90A:
9  * Recommendation for Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random
10  * Bit Generators</em>.
11  *
12  * The Mbed TLS implementation of CTR_DRBG uses AES-256 (default) or AES-128
13  * (if \c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY is enabled at compile time)
14  * as the underlying block cipher, with a derivation function.
15  * The initial seeding grabs #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN bytes of entropy.
16  * See the documentation of mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() for more details.
17  *
18  * Based on NIST SP 800-90A §10.2.1 table 3 and NIST SP 800-57 part 1 table 2,
19  * here are the security strengths achieved in typical configuration:
20  * - 256 bits under the default configuration of the library, with AES-256
21  *   and with #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN set to 48 or more.
22  * - 256 bits if AES-256 is used, #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is set
23  *   to 32 or more, and the DRBG is initialized with an explicit
24  *   nonce in the \c custom parameter to mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed().
25  * - 128 bits if AES-256 is used but #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is
26  *   between 24 and 47 and the DRBG is not initialized with an explicit
27  *   nonce (see mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed()).
28  * - 128 bits if AES-128 is used (\c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY enabled)
29  *   and #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is set to 24 or more (which is
30  *   always the case unless it is explicitly set to a different value
31  *   in config.h).
32  *
33  * Note that the value of #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN defaults to:
34  * - \c 48 if the module \c MBEDTLS_SHA512_C is enabled and the symbol
35  *   \c MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 is disabled at compile time.
36  *   This is the default configuration of the library.
37  * - \c 32 if the module \c MBEDTLS_SHA512_C is disabled at compile time.
38  * - \c 32 if \c MBEDTLS_ENTROPY_FORCE_SHA256 is enabled at compile time.

209  *
210  * A typical choice for the \p f_entropy and \p p_entropy parameters is
211  * to use the entropy module:
212  * - \p f_entropy is mbedtls_entropy_func();
213  * - \p p_entropy is an instance of ::mbedtls_entropy_context initialized
214  *   with mbedtls_entropy_init() (which registers the platform's default
215  *   entropy sources).
216  *
217  * The entropy length is #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN by default.
218  * You can override it by calling mbedtls_ctr_drbg_set_entropy_len().
219  *

227  *                      calling \p f_entropy and the \p custom string.
228  *                      The origin of the nonce depends on the value of
