|

Several Public Key Cryptography algorithms require random MPI's for operations like signature generation.
|
||||
The library provides two API functions to generate random MPI's which allow the utilisation of a user-defined PRNG to aquire the random data.

\index{rand\_bn\_bits()}
|

\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
int rand_bn_bits( void *N,
|
||||
int bits,
|
||||
prng_state *prng,
|
||||
int wprng);
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
This sets \textit{N} to a \textit{bits}-long random MPI.

|

\index{rand\_bn\_upto()}
|
||||
\begin{verbatim}
|
||||
int rand_bn_upto( void *N,
|
||||
void *limit,
|
||||
prng_state *prng,
|
||||
int wprng);
|
||||
\end{verbatim}
|
||||
|
||||
This ensures that \textit{N} is set to a random MPI in the range $1 \le N < limit$.
