.SH NAME
EVP_RAND\-CTR\-DRBG \- The CTR DRBG EVP_RAND implementation
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Support for the counter deterministic random bit generator through the
\&\fBEVP_RAND\fR API.
.SS Identity
.IX Subsection "Identity"
"CTR-DRBG" is the name for this implementation; it can be used with the
\&\fBEVP_RAND_fetch()\fR function.
.SS "Supported parameters"
.IX Subsection "Supported parameters"
The supported parameters are:
.IP """state"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """state"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STATE) <integer>"
.PD 0
.IP """strength"" (\fBOSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """strength"" (OSSL_RAND_PARAM_STRENGTH) <unsigned integer>"

.IX Item """max_entropylen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ENTROPYLEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """min_noncelen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """min_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MIN_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """max_noncelen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """max_noncelen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_NONCELEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """max_perslen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4
.IX Item """max_perslen"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_PERSLEN) <unsigned integer>"
.IP """max_adinlen"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_MAX_ADINLEN\fR) <unsigned integer>" 4

.IX Item """properties"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_PROPERTIES) <UTF8 string>"
.IP """cipher"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_CIPHER\fR) <UTF8 string>" 4
.IX Item """cipher"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_CIPHER) <UTF8 string>"
.PD
These parameters work as described in "PARAMETERS" in \fBEVP_RAND\fR\|(3).
.IP """use_derivation_function"" (\fBOSSL_DRBG_PARAM_USE_DF\fR) <integer>" 4
.IX Item """use_derivation_function"" (OSSL_DRBG_PARAM_USE_DF) <integer>"
This Boolean indicates if a derivation function should be used or not.
A nonzero value (the default) uses the derivation function.  A zero value
does not.
