18 * Maximum allocation size for RANDOM_POOL buffers
19 *
20 * The max_len value for the buffer provided to the rand_drbg_get_entropy()
21 * callback is currently 2^31 bytes (2 gigabytes), if a derivation function
22 * is used. Since this is much too large to be allocated, the rand_pool_new()
23 * function chooses more modest values as default pool length, bounded
24 * by RAND_POOL_MIN_LENGTH and RAND_POOL_MAX_LENGTH
25 *
26 * The choice of the RAND_POOL_FACTOR is large enough such that the
27 * RAND_POOL can store a random input which has a lousy entropy rate of
28 * 8/256 (= 0.03125) bits per byte. This input will be sent through the
29 * derivation function which 'compresses' the low quality input into a
30 * high quality output.
31 *
32 * The factor 1.5 below is the pessimistic estimate for the extra amount
33 * of entropy required when no get_nonce() callback is defined.

44 * Initial allocation minimum.
45 *
46 * There is a distinction between the secure and normal allocation minimums.
47 * Ideally, the secure allocation size should be a power of two. The normal
48 * allocation size doesn't have any such restriction.
49 *
50 * The secure value is based on 128 bits of secure material, which is 16 bytes.
51 * Typically, the DRBGs will set a minimum larger than this so optimal
52 * allocation ought to take place (for full quality seed material).
53 *
54 * The normal value has been chosen by noticing that the rand_drbg_get_nonce
55 * function is usually the largest of the built in allocation (twenty four
56 * bytes and then appending another sixteen bytes). This means the buffer ends
57 * with 40 bytes. The value of forty eight is comfortably above this which
58 * allows some slack in the platform specific values used.

63 * The 'random pool' acts as a dumb container for collecting random
64 * input from various entropy sources. It is the callers duty to 1) initialize
65 * the random pool, 2) pass it to the polling callbacks, 3) seed the RNG, and
66 * 4) cleanup the random pool again.
67 *
68 * The random pool contains no locking mechanism because its scope and
69 * lifetime is intended to be restricted to a single stack frame.
