* Rename S2K to PBKDF, because that is by far the most common name - S2Klloyd2010-07-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | really is only used by OpenPGP, and largely it was named S2K here because the OpenPGP S2K was implemented years before the ones in PKCS #5. We have a typedef of PBKDF to S2K, and an inlined get_s2k that calls get_pbkdf for source compatability. There doesn't seem to be any reason to have a forward for the renamed s2k.h header - to actually use a PBKDF, you'd have to either include lookup.h and call get_s2k / get_pbkdf, or else include an algorithm-specific header and use it directly. In either case, including s2k.h is neither necessary nor sufficient.

* Modify the self test program to use the builtin runtime benchmarking goop.lloyd2009-09-241-14/+1
| | | | | | | | | Features dropped: RNG benchmarking, the --bench-type option. New feature: Anything the library understands can be benchmarked using --bench-algo. Use 3DES and Serpent for mode benchmarking along with AES-128.
* Check in a branch with a major redesign on how entropy polling is performed.lloyd2009-01-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Combine the fast and slow polls, into a single poll() operation. Instead of being given a buffer to write output into, the EntropySource is passed an Entropy_Accumulator. This handles the RLE encoding that xor_into_buf used to do. It also contains a cached I/O buffer so entropy sources do not individually need to allocate memory for that with each poll. When data is added to the accumulator, the source specifies an estimate of the number of bits of entropy per byte, as a double. This is tracked in the accumulator. Once the estimated entropy hits a target (set by the constructor), the accumulator's member function predicate polling_goal_achieved flips to true. This signals to the PRNG that it can stop performing polling on sources, also polls that take a long time periodically check this flag and return immediately. The Win32 and BeOS entropy sources have been updated, but blindly; testing is needed. The test_es example program has been modified: now it polls twice and outputs the XOR of the two collected results. That helps show if the output is consistent across polls (not a good thing). I have noticed on the Unix entropy source, occasionally there are many 0x00 bytes in the output, which is not optimal. This also needs to be investigated. The RLE is not actually RLE anymore. It works well for non-random inputs (ASCII text, etc), but I noticed that when /dev/random output was fed into it, the output buffer would end up being RR01RR01RR01 where RR is a random byte and 00 is the byte count. The buffer sizing also needs to be examined carefully. It might be useful to choose a prime number for the size to XOR stuff into, to help ensure an even distribution of entropy across the entire buffer space. Or: feed it all into a hash function? This change should (perhaps with further modifications) help WRT the concerns Zack W raised about the RNG on the monotone-dev list.

| | | | | | | | | | | RandomNumberGenerator, and make ANSI_X931_PRNG's implementations just forward the arguments to the underlying RNG. This allows seeding the RNG even if no entropy modules are loaded into the library. Also it allows actually adding user-specified data; to do it otherwise would require creating the RNG objects yourself and retaining a pointer to the Randpool, which is pretty bogus. Move Null_RNG to rng.h
