nrf_cc3xx_platform_ctr_drbg_get()

int nrf_cc3xx_platform_ctr_drbg_get	(	nrf_cc3xx_platform_ctr_drbg_context_t *const	context,
		uint8_t *	buffer,
		size_t	length,
		size_t *	olen )

#include <crypto/nrf_cc310_platform/include/nrf_cc3xx_platform_ctr_drbg.h>

Function to get PRNG data using ctr_drbg.

Note

If the context is NULL the function uses an internal context.

This function calculates random numbers using PRNG seeded by TRNG as defined in NIST SP 800-90A: Recommendation for Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random Bit Generators. The random numbers are generated using Arm CryptoCell cc3xx hardware acceleration.

Note

Before calling this API the context to must be initialized by calling nrf_cc3xx_platform_ctr_drbg_init.

This API is only usable if nrf_cc3xx_platform initialization APIs was run prior to calling it.

Parameters

[in,out]	context	Pointer to structure holding the ctr_drbg context.
[in]	buffer	Pointer to buffer to hold PRNG data.
[in]	length	Length of PRNG to get.
[out]	olen	Length reported out.

Returns

0 on success, otherwise a non-zero failure according to the API mbedtls_ctr_drbg_random.
