45 * This routine gathers environmental noise from device drivers, etc.,
46 * and returns good random numbers, suitable for cryptographic use.
47 * Besides the obvious cryptographic uses, these numbers are also good
48 * for seeding TCP sequence numbers, and other places where it is
49 * desirable to have numbers which are not only random, but hard to
50 * predict by an attacker.
55 * Computers are very predictable devices. Hence it is extremely hard
56 * to produce truly random numbers on a computer --- as opposed to
57 * pseudo-random numbers, which can easily generated by using a
58 * algorithm. Unfortunately, it is very easy for attackers to guess
59 * the sequence of pseudo-random number generators, and for some
60 * applications this is not acceptable. So instead, we must try to
61 * gather "environmental noise" from the computer's environment, which
62 * must be hard for outside attackers to observe, and use that to
63 * generate random numbers. In a Unix environment, this is best done
64 * from inside the kernel.
66 * Sources of randomness from the environment include inter-keyboard
67 * timings, inter-interrupt timings from some interrupts, and other
68 * events which are both (a) non-deterministic and (b) hard for an
69 * outside observer to measure. Randomness from these sources are
70 * added to an "entropy pool", which is mixed using a CRC-like function.
71 * This is not cryptographically strong, but it is adequate assuming
72 * the randomness is not chosen maliciously, and it is fast enough that
73 * the overhead of doing it on every interrupt is very reasonable.
74 * As random bytes are mixed into the entropy pool, the routines keep
75 * an *estimate* of how many bits of randomness have been stored into
76 * the random number generator's internal state.
78 * When random bytes are desired, they are obtained by taking the SHA
79 * hash of the contents of the "entropy pool". The SHA hash avoids
80 * exposing the internal state of the entropy pool. It is believed to
81 * be computationally infeasible to derive any useful information
82 * about the input of SHA from its output. Even if it is possible to
83 * analyze SHA in some clever way, as long as the amount of data
84 * returned from the generator is less than the inherent entropy in
85 * the pool, the output data is totally unpredictable. For this
86 * reason, the routine decreases its internal estimate of how many
87 * bits of "true randomness" are contained in the entropy pool as it
88 * outputs random numbers.
90 * If this estimate goes to zero, the routine can still generate
91 * random numbers; however, an attacker may (at least in theory) be
92 * able to infer the future output of the generator from prior
93 * outputs. This requires successful cryptanalysis of SHA, which is
94 * not believed to be feasible, but there is a remote possibility.
95 * Nonetheless, these numbers should be useful for the vast majority
98 * Exported interfaces ---- output
99 * ===============================
101 * There are three exported interfaces; the first is one designed to
102 * be used from within the kernel:
104 * void get_random_bytes(void *buf, int nbytes);
106 * This interface will return the requested number of random bytes,
107 * and place it in the requested buffer.
109 * The two other interfaces are two character devices /dev/random and
110 * /dev/urandom. /dev/random is suitable for use when very high
111 * quality randomness is desired (for example, for key generation or
112 * one-time pads), as it will only return a maximum of the number of
113 * bits of randomness (as estimated by the random number generator)
114 * contained in the entropy pool.
116 * The /dev/urandom device does not have this limit, and will return
117 * as many bytes as are requested. As more and more random bytes are
118 * requested without giving time for the entropy pool to recharge,
119 * this will result in random numbers that are merely cryptographically
120 * strong. For many applications, however, this is acceptable.
122 * Exported interfaces ---- input
123 * ==============================
125 * The current exported interfaces for gathering environmental noise
126 * from the devices are:
128 * void add_device_randomness(const void *buf, unsigned int size);
129 * void add_input_randomness(unsigned int type, unsigned int code,
130 * unsigned int value);
131 * void add_interrupt_randomness(int irq, int irq_flags);
132 * void add_disk_randomness(struct gendisk *disk);
134 * add_device_randomness() is for adding data to the random pool that
135 * is likely to differ between two devices (or possibly even per boot).
136 * This would be things like MAC addresses or serial numbers, or the
137 * read-out of the RTC. This does *not* add any actual entropy to the
138 * pool, but it initializes the pool to different values for devices
139 * that might otherwise be identical and have very little entropy
140 * available to them (particularly common in the embedded world).
142 * add_input_randomness() uses the input layer interrupt timing, as well as
143 * the event type information from the hardware.
145 * add_interrupt_randomness() uses the interrupt timing as random
146 * inputs to the entropy pool. Using the cycle counters and the irq source
147 * as inputs, it feeds the randomness roughly once a second.
149 * add_disk_randomness() uses what amounts to the seek time of block
150 * layer request events, on a per-disk_devt basis, as input to the
151 * entropy pool. Note that high-speed solid state drives with very low
152 * seek times do not make for good sources of entropy, as their seek
153 * times are usually fairly consistent.
155 * All of these routines try to estimate how many bits of randomness a
156 * particular randomness source. They do this by keeping track of the
157 * first and second order deltas of the event timings.
159 * Ensuring unpredictability at system startup
160 * ============================================
162 * When any operating system starts up, it will go through a sequence
163 * of actions that are fairly predictable by an adversary, especially
164 * if the start-up does not involve interaction with a human operator.
165 * This reduces the actual number of bits of unpredictability in the
166 * entropy pool below the value in entropy_count. In order to
167 * counteract this effect, it helps to carry information in the
168 * entropy pool across shut-downs and start-ups. To do this, put the
169 * following lines an appropriate script which is run during the boot
172 * echo "Initializing random number generator..."
173 * random_seed=/var/run/random-seed
174 * # Carry a random seed from start-up to start-up
175 * # Load and then save the whole entropy pool
176 * if [ -f $random_seed ]; then
177 * cat $random_seed >/dev/urandom
181 * chmod 600 $random_seed
182 * dd if=/dev/urandom of=$random_seed count=1 bs=512
184 * and the following lines in an appropriate script which is run as
185 * the system is shutdown:
187 * # Carry a random seed from shut-down to start-up
188 * # Save the whole entropy pool
189 * echo "Saving random seed..."
190 * random_seed=/var/run/random-seed
192 * chmod 600 $random_seed
193 * dd if=/dev/urandom of=$random_seed count=1 bs=512
195 * For example, on most modern systems using the System V init
196 * scripts, such code fragments would be found in
197 * /etc/rc.d/init.d/random. On older Linux systems, the correct script
198 * location might be in /etc/rcb.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/rc.0.
200 * Effectively, these commands cause the contents of the entropy pool
201 * to be saved at shut-down time and reloaded into the entropy pool at
202 * start-up. (The 'dd' in the addition to the bootup script is to
203 * make sure that /etc/random-seed is different for every start-up,
204 * even if the system crashes without executing rc.0.) Even with
205 * complete knowledge of the start-up activities, predicting the state
206 * of the entropy pool requires knowledge of the previous history of
209 * Configuring the /dev/random driver under Linux
210 * ==============================================
212 * The /dev/random driver under Linux uses minor numbers 8 and 9 of
213 * the /dev/mem major number (#1). So if your system does not have
214 * /dev/random and /dev/urandom created already, they can be created
215 * by using the commands:
217 * mknod /dev/random c 1 8
218 * mknod /dev/urandom c 1 9
223 * Ideas for constructing this random number generator were derived
224 * from Pretty Good Privacy's random number generator, and from private
225 * discussions with Phil Karn. Colin Plumb provided a faster random
226 * number generator, which speed up the mixing function of the entropy
227 * pool, taken from PGPfone. Dale Worley has also contributed many
228 * useful ideas and suggestions to improve this driver.
230 * Any flaws in the design are solely my responsibility, and should
231 * not be attributed to the Phil, Colin, or any of authors of PGP.
233 * Further background information on this topic may be obtained from
234 * RFC 1750, "Randomness Recommendations for Security", by Donald
235 * Eastlake, Steve Crocker, and Jeff Schiller.

354 * II. ACM Transactions on Mdeling and Computer Simulation 4:254-266)
356 * Thanks to Colin Plumb for suggesting this.
358 * We have not analyzed the resultant polynomial to prove it primitive;
359 * in fact it almost certainly isn't. Nonetheless, the irreducible factors
360 * of a random large-degree polynomial over GF(2) are more than large enough
361 * that periodicity is not a concern.
363 * The input hash is much less sensitive than the output hash. All
364 * that we want of it is that it be a good non-cryptographic hash;
365 * i.e. it not produce collisions when fed "random" data of the sort
366 * we expect to see. As long as the pool state differs for different
367 * inputs, we have preserved the input entropy and done a good job.
368 * The fact that an intelligent attacker can construct inputs that
369 * will produce controlled alterations to the pool's state is not
370 * important because we don't consider such inputs to contribute any
371 * randomness. The only property we need with respect to them is that
372 * the attacker can't increase his/her knowledge of the pool's state.
373 * Since all additions are reversible (knowing the final state and the
374 * input, you can reconstruct the initial state), if an attacker has
375 * any uncertainty about the initial state, he/she can only shuffle
376 * that uncertainty about, but never cause any collisions (which would
377 * decrease the uncertainty).
379 * The chosen system lets the state of the pool be (essentially) the input
380 * modulo the generator polymnomial. Now, for random primitive polynomials,
381 * this is a universal class of hash functions, meaning that the chance
382 * of a collision is limited by the attacker's knowledge of the generator
383 * polynomail, so if it is chosen at random, an attacker can never force
384 * a collision. Here, we use a fixed polynomial, but we *can* assume that
385 * ###--> it is unknown to the processes generating the input entropy. <-###
386 * Because of this important property, this is a good, collision-resistant
387 * hash; hash collisions will occur no more often than chance.
