Module Mirage_crypto_rng_mkernelSource

RNG seeding on Mkernel.

Sourcetype rng

Type of tasks seeding the RNG.

Sourceval initialize : ?g:'a -> ?sleep:int -> 'a Mirage_crypto_rng.generator -> rng

initialize ~g ~sleep generator sets the default generator to the generator and sets up periodic entropy feeding for that rng. The argument sleep (default: 1 second) is measured in nanoseconds, and is the wait between two CPU-assisted entropy collection (using RDRAND).

  • raises [Invalid_argument]

    if called a second time.

Sourceval kill : rng -> unit

kill rng cancels the periodic seeding and unsets the default random number generator.
