It is based on the ideas advocated by Peter Gutmann in his work on pseudo random sequence generators. It is not a 'paranoid' random sequence generator and no attempt is made to protect the pool from prying eyes either by memory locking or by techniques to obscure its location in memory. */ #include <memory.h> #include "prng.h" /* mix a random data pool using the SHA1 compression function (as */ /* suggested by Peter Gutmann in his paper on random pools) */ static void prng_mix(unsigned char buf[]) { unsigned int i, len; sha1_ctx ctx[1]; /*lint -e{663} unusual array to pointer conversion */ for(i = 0; i < PRNG_POOL_SIZE; i += SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE) { /* copy digest size pool block into SHA1 hash block */ memcpy(ctx->hash, buf + (i ? i : PRNG_POOL_SIZE) - SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE, SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE); /* copy data from pool into the SHA1 data buffer */ len = PRNG_POOL_SIZE - i; memcpy(ctx->wbuf, buf + i, (len > SHA1_BLOCK_SIZE ?
