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).
