Hello All,
I am getting below error when trying to create a connection
Seeding the PRNG failed, most likely because the system does not have
/dev/random.
Any inputs why this error pops up?
FYI.. i am working on AIX - 64 bit platform.

You don't need to call RAND_write_file. RAND_load_file(/dev/random,bytes )
will seed the PRNG with whatever is the value of bytes variable.

Hi,
I need to seed PRNG of 128 bytes. in the below program is seeding 1024
byte.
is it possible seed 128 bytes of data using RAND_seed(). Any example should
be helpful for me.
#includestring.h
#includeopenssl/rand.h
#includeopenssl/bn.h
main()

Hi,
I am using the openSSl 9.8i on a chorus operating system. When I tried
to use the funciton
srand(time(NULL));
RSA* rsa = RSA_generate_key(512, 65537, NULL, NULL) ;
I get the error the random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not
seeded .
Does srand() seed PRNG?
How can i work around
you should try http://openssl.org/docs/crypto/RAND_add.html#

See the OpenSSL FAQ:

srand/rand/etc. have nothing to do with the cryptographically strong
PRNG inside OpenSSL as srand/rand et al are not meant to be used for
cryptographic purposes anyway. Read books such as published by Bruce
Schneier, etc. about
