.SH NAME
EVP_RAND\-TEST\-RAND \- The test EVP_RAND implementation
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Support for a test generator through the \fBEVP_RAND\fR API. This generator is
for test purposes only, it does not generate random numbers.
.SS Identity
.IX Subsection "Identity"
"TEST-RAND" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
\&\fBEVP_RAND_fetch()\fR function.
.SS "Supported parameters"
.IX Subsection "Supported parameters"
The supported parameters are:
.IP """state"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """state"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>"
These parameter works as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_RAND\fR\|(3).
.IP """strength"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """strength"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>"
.PD 0
.IP """reseed_requests"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """reseed_requests"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """reseed_time_interval"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """reseed_time_interval"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_TIME_INTERVAL) <integer>"
.IP """max_request"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """max_request"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_REQUESTS) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """min_entropylen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """min_entropylen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """max_entropylen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """max_entropylen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """min_noncelen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """min_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """max_noncelen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """max_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """max_perslen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """max_perslen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """max_adinlen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """max_adinlen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """reseed_counter"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """reseed_counter"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_RESEED_COUNTER) <unsigned integer>"
.PD
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_RAND\fR\|(3), except that
they can all be set as well as read.
.IP """test_entropy"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_ENTROPY\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """test_entropy"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_ENTROPY) <octet string>"
Sets the bytes returned when the test generator is sent an entropy request.
The current position is remembered across generate calls.
If there are insufficient data present to satisfy a call, an error is returned.
.IP """test_nonce"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_NONCE\fR) <octet string>" 4
.IX Item """test_nonce"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_TEST_NONCE) <octet string>"
Sets the bytes returned when the test generator is sent a nonce request.
Each nonce request will return all of the bytes.
.IP """generate"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_GENERATE\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """generate"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_GENERATE) <integer>"
If this parameter is zero, it will only emit the nonce and entropy data
supplied via the aforementioned parameters.  Otherwise, low quality
non-cryptographic pseudorandom output is produced.  This parameter defaults
to zero.
