* RNG changes (GH #593)Jack Lloyd2016-08-241-47/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change reseed interval logic to count calls to `randomize` rather than bytes, to match SP 800-90A Changes RNG reseeding API: there is no implicit reference to the global entropy sources within the RNGs anymore. The entropy sources must be supplied with the API call. Adds support for reseding directly from another RNG (such as a system or hardware RNG). Stateful_RNG keeps optional references to both an RNG and a set of entropy sources. During a reseed, both sources are used if set. These can be provided to HMAC_DRBG constructor. For HMAC_DRBG, SP800-90A requires we output no more than 2**16 bytes per DRBG request. We treat requests longer than that as if the caller had instead made several sequential maximum-length requests. This means it is possible for one or more reseeds to trigger even in the course of generating a single (long) output (generate a 256-bit key and use ChaCha or HKDF if this is a problem). Adds RNG::randomize_with_ts_input which takes timestamps and uses them as the additional_data DRBG field. Stateful_RNG overrides this to also include the process ID and the reseed counter. AutoSeeded_RNG's `randomize` uses this. Officially deprecates RNG::make_rng and the Serialized_RNG construtor which creates an AutoSeeded_RNG. With these removed, it would be possible to perform a build with no AutoSeeded_RNG/HMAC_DRBG at all (eg, for applications which only use the system RNG). Tests courtesy @cordney in GH PRs #598 and #600

| | | | | | | | | Use consistent naming for the max output before reseed parameter. The constant (default) value is renamed to BOTAN_RNG_DEFAULT_MAX_OUTPUT_BEFORE_RESEED, since without the DEFAULT_ it reads like a compile time maximum instead. Use uint8_t instead of byte.

Handles fork checking for HMAC_RNG and HMAC_DRBG AutoSeeded_RNG change - switch to HMAC_DRBG as default. Start removing the io buffer from entropy poller. Update default RNG poll bits to 256. Fix McEliece test, was using wrong RNG API. Update docs.
