Function Documentation

void ndn::random::generateSecureBytes	(	uint8_t *	bytes,
		size_t	size
	)

Fill bytes of size with cryptographically secure random bytes.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if generation fails.

Definition at line 47 of file random.cpp.

uint32_t ndn::random::generateSecureWord32

(

)

Generate a cryptographically secure random integer from the range [0, 2^32)

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if generation fails.

Definition at line 31 of file random.cpp.

uint64_t ndn::random::generateSecureWord64

(

)

Generate a cryptographically secure random integer from the range [0, 2^64)

Exceptions

std::runtime_error

if generation fails.

Definition at line 39 of file random.cpp.

uint32_t ndn::random::generateWord32

(

)

Generate a non-cryptographically-secure random integer in the range [0, 2^32)

This version is faster than generateSecureWord32, but it must not be used when cryptographically secure random integers are needed (e.g., when creating signing or encryption keys)

uint64_t ndn::random::generateWord64

(

)

Generate a non-cryptographically-secure random integer in the range [0, 2^64)

This version is faster than generateSecureWord64, but it must not be used when cryptographically secure random integers are needed (e.g., when creating signing or encryption keys)
