FC_SeedRandom¶
Name¶
FC_SeedRandom()
- mix additional seed material into the random number generator.
Syntax¶
CK_RV FC_SeedRandom(
CK_SESSION_HANDLE hSession,
CK_BYTE_PTR pSeed,
CK_ULONG usSeedLen
);
Parameters¶
hSession
[in] session handle.
pSeed
[in] pointer to the seed material
usSeedLen
[in] length of the seed material in bytes.
Description¶
FC_SeedRandom()
mixes additional seed material into the token’s random number generator. Note
that FC_SeedRandom()
doesn’t provide the initial seed material for the random number
generator. The initial seed material is provided by the NSS cryptographic module itself.
A user may call
FC_SeedRandom()
without logging into the token (to assume the NSS User
role).
