Detailed Description

EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL as defined in UEFI 2.4. The UEFI Random Number Generator Protocol is used to provide random bits for use in applications, or entropy for seeding other random number generators.

Define Documentation

#define EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_RAW

Value:

{ \
    0xe43176d7, 0xb6e8, 0x4827, {0xb7, 0x84, 0x7f, 0xfd, 0xc4, 0xb6, 0x85, 0x61 } \
  }
The "raw" algorithm, when supported, is intended to provide entropy directly from the source, without it going through some deterministic random bit generator.

#define EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_SP800_90_CTR_256_GUID

Value:

{ \
    0x44f0de6e, 0x4d8c, 0x4045, {0xa8, 0xc7, 0x4d, 0xd1, 0x68, 0x85, 0x6b, 0x9e } \
  }

#define EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_SP800_90_HASH_256_GUID

Value:

{ \
    0xa7af67cb, 0x603b, 0x4d42, {0xba, 0x21, 0x70, 0xbf, 0xb6, 0x29, 0x3f, 0x96 } \
  }
The algorithms corresponds to SP800-90 as defined in NIST SP 800-90, "Recommendation for Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random Bit Generators", March 2007.

#define EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_SP800_90_HMAC_256_GUID

Value:

{ \

  }

#define EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_X9_31_3DES_GUID

Value:

{ \

  }
The algorithms correspond to X9.31 as defined in NIST, "Recommended Random Number Generator Based on ANSI X9.31 Appendix A.2.4 Using the 3-Key Triple DES and AES Algorithm", January 2005.

#define EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM_X9_31_AES_GUID

Value:

{ \
    0xacd03321, 0x777e, 0x4d3d, {0xb1, 0xc8, 0x20, 0xcf, 0xd8, 0x88, 0x20, 0xc9 } \

Function Documentation

typedef EFI_STATUS ( EFIAPI EFI_RNG_GET_RNG  ) 

Returns information about the random number generation implementation.

Parameters:
[in] This A pointer to the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL instance.
[in,out] RNGAlgorithmListSize On input, the size in bytes of RNGAlgorithmList. On output with a return code of EFI_SUCCESS, the size in bytes of the data returned in RNGAlgorithmList. On output with a return code of EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, the size of RNGAlgorithmList required to obtain the list.
[out] RNGAlgorithmList A caller-allocated memory buffer filled by the driver with one EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM element for each supported RNG algorithm. The list must not change across multiple calls to the same driver. The first algorithm in the list is the default algorithm for the driver.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The RNG algorithm list was returned successfully.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED The services is not supported by this driver.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR The list of algorithms could not be retrieved due to a hardware or firmware error.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the parameters are incorrect.
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL The buffer RNGAlgorithmList is too small to hold the result.
Produces and returns an RNG value using either the default or specified RNG algorithm.

Parameters:
[in] This A pointer to the EFI_RNG_PROTOCOL instance.
[in] RNGAlgorithm A pointer to the EFI_RNG_ALGORITHM that identifies the RNG algorithm to use. May be NULL in which case the function will use its default RNG algorithm.
[in] RNGValueLength The length in bytes of the memory buffer pointed to by RNGValue. The driver shall return exactly this numbers of bytes.
[out] RNGValue A caller-allocated memory buffer filled by the driver with the resulting RNG value.
Return values:
EFI_SUCCESS The RNG value was returned successfully.
EFI_UNSUPPORTED The algorithm specified by RNGAlgorithm is not supported by this driver.
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR An RNG value could not be retrieved due to a hardware or firmware error.
EFI_NOT_READY There is not enough random data available to satisfy the length requested by RNGValueLength.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER RNGValue is NULL or RNGValueLength is zero.
