  63. .SH NAME
  64. EVP_RAND\-CRNG\-TEST \- The FIPS health testing EVP_RAND filter
  65. .SH DESCRIPTION
  66. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  67. This \fBEVP_RAND\fR object acts as a filter between the entropy source
  68. and its users. It performs CRNG health tests as defined in
  69. SP 800\-90B <https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/90/b/final> Section 4 "Health
  70. Tests". Most requests are forwarded to the entropy source, either via
  71. its parent reference or via the provider entropy upcalls.
  72. .SS Identity
  73. .IX Subsection "Identity"
  74. "CRNG-TEST" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
  75. \&\fBEVP_RAND_fetch()\fR function.
  76. .SS "Supported parameters"
  77. .IX Subsection "Supported parameters"
  78. If a parent EVP_RAND is specified on context creation, the parent's
  79. parameters are supported because the request is forwarded to the parent
  80. seed source for processing.
  81. .PP
  82. If no parent EVP_RAND is specified on context creation, the following parameters
  83. are supported:
  84. .IP """state"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE\fR) <integer>" 4
  85. .IX Item """state"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>"
  86. .PD 0
  87. .IP """strength"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
  88. .IX Item """strength"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>"
  89. .IP """max_request"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
  90. .IX Item """max_request"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_MAX_REQUEST) <unsigned integer>"
  91. .PD
  92. These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_RAND\fR\|(3).
  93. .IP """fips-indicator"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR\fR) <integer>" 4
  94. .IX Item """fips-indicator"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_FIPS_APPROVED_INDICATOR) <integer>"
  95. This parameter works as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBprovider\-rand\fR\|(7).
  96. .SH NOTES
  97. .IX Header "NOTES"
  98. This EVP_RAND is only implemented by the OpenSSL FIPS provider.
  99. .PP
  100. A context for a health test filter can be obtained by calling:
  101. .PP
  102. .Vb 3
  103. \& EVP_RAND *parent = ...;
  104. \& EVP_RAND *rand = EVP_RAND_fetch(NULL, "CRNG\-TEST", NULL);
  105. \& EVP_RAND_CTX *rctx = EVP_RAND_CTX_new(rand, parent);
