  159. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  160. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  161. The default \s-1RAND API\s0 implementation (\fBRAND_OpenSSL()\fR) utilizes three
  162. shared \s-1DRBG\s0 instances which are accessed via the \s-1RAND API:\s0
  163. .PP
  164. The \fIpublic\fR and \fIprivate\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 are thread-local instances, which are used
  165. by \fBRAND_bytes()\fR and \fBRAND_priv_bytes()\fR, respectively.
  166. The \fIprimary\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 is a global instance, which is not intended to be used
  167. directly, but is used internally to reseed the other two instances.
  168. .PP
  169. The three get functions provide access to the shared \s-1DRBG\s0 instances.
  170. .PP
  171. The two set functions allow the public and private \s-1DRBG\s0 instances to be
  172. replaced by another random number generator.
  173. .SH "RETURN VALUES"
  174. .IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
  175. \&\fBRAND_get0_primary()\fR returns a pointer to the \fIprimary\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance
  176. for the given \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 \fBctx\fR.
  177. .PP
  178. \&\fBRAND_get0_public()\fR returns a pointer to the \fIpublic\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance
  179. for the given \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 \fBctx\fR.
  180. .PP
  181. \&\fBRAND_get0_private()\fR returns a pointer to the \fIprivate\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance
  182. for the given \s-1OSSL_LIB_CTX\s0 \fBctx\fR.
  183. .PP
  184. \&\fBRAND_set0_public()\fR and \fBRAND_set0_private()\fR return 1 on success and 0
  185. on error.
  186. .SH "NOTES"
  187. .IX Header "NOTES"
  188. It is not thread-safe to access the \fIprimary\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance.
  189. The \fIpublic\fR and \fIprivate\fR \s-1DRBG\s0 instance can be accessed safely, because
  190. they are thread-local. Note however, that changes to these two instances
  191. apply only to the current thread.
  192. .PP
  193. For that reason it is recommended not to change the settings of these
  194. three instances directly.
  195. Instead, an application should change the default settings for new \s-1DRBG\s0 instances
  196. at initialization time, before creating additional threads.
  197. .PP
  198. During initialization, it is possible to change the reseed interval
  199. and reseed time interval.
  200. It is also possible to exchange the reseeding callbacks entirely.
  201. .PP
  202. To set the type of \s-1DRBG\s0 that will be instantiated, use the
  203. \&\fBRAND_set_DRBG_type\fR\|(3) call before accessing the random number generation
  204. infrastructure.
  205. .PP
  206. The two set functions, operate on the the current thread. If you want to
  207. use the same random number generator across all threads, each thread
  208. must individually call the set functions.
