Issue is fixed.
FYI-
As I am working on pre-boot, no OS is present. Which was resulting in no
seeding.
RAND_seed() has been called before using RAND_bytes().
Here is the code snippet.
static const char rnd_seed[] = "string to make the random number generator
think it has entropy";
RAND_seed(rnd_
I have a best practices question on CA management for signing.
I have created CA signing cert and issue all other certs using this
CA to sign them.
1) I noticed that many CA examples set a term of 3650 days, is this commmon
practice
2) If I decide to revoke the CA and create a new CA what is th
FYI -
RAND_bytes(buf, bytes) receives correct parameters as bytes=256 for SHA256.
int RAND_bytes(unsigned char *buf, int num)
{
const RAND_METHOD *meth = RAND_get_rand_method();
if (meth && meth->bytes)
{
Print(L" control is here\n");/<---controll is here
return meth->bytes(buf,num);
}
Hello,
RAND_bytes() will use the proper OS-provided RNG e.g. /dev/urandom or
/dev/randomon Linux and CryptGenRandom() on Windows.
I want to know how it works in Pre-boot environement?
In pre-boot environment, if RAND_bytes() returns zero then what does it
mean?
Is it because PRNG is not properl
