Typedef Documentation

ndn_rng_backend_t

typedef struct ndn_rng_backend ndn_rng_backend_t

The structure to represent the backend implementation.

ndn_rng_impl

typedef int(* ndn_rng_impl) (uint8_t *dest, unsigned size)

ndn_rng_impl type

This type is the same as micro-ecc/uECC.huECC_RNG_Function

The RNG function should fill 'size' random bytes into 'dest'. It should return 1 if 'dest' was filled with random data, or 0 if the random data could not be generated. The filled-in values should be either truly random, or from a cryptographically-secure PRNG. Setting a correctly functioning RNG function improves the resistance to side-channel attacks.

Function Documentation

YOU CANNOT USE THIS FUNCTION IF YOU ARE USING THE DEFAULT SECURITY BACKEND.

Parameters

dest	Buffer to store random number.
size	Length of random number to generate.
