java.util.Random

java.security.SecureRandom

net.i2p.util.RandomSource

net.i2p.util.FortunaRandomSource

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, EntropyHarvester

public class FortunaRandomSource
extends RandomSource
implements EntropyHarvester

Wrapper around GNU-Crypto's Fortuna PRNG. This seeds from /dev/urandom and ./prngseed.rnd on startup (if they exist), writing a new seed to ./prngseed.rnd on an explicit call to saveSeed().

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	feedEntropy(String source, byte[] data, int offset, int len)	reseed the fortuna
void	feedEntropy(String source, long data, int bitoffset, int bits)	reseed the fortuna
EntropyHarvester	harvester()
static void	main(String[] args)	Outputs to stdout for dieharder: java -cp build/i2p.jar net.i2p.util.FortunaRandomSource | dieharder -a -g 200
protected int	nextBits(int numBits)	Pull the next numBits of random data off the fortuna instance (returning 0 through 2^numBits-1 Caller must synchronize!
boolean	nextBoolean()
byte	nextByte()	Not part of java.util.SecureRandom, but added for efficiency, since Fortuna supports it.
void	nextBytes(byte[] buf)
void	nextBytes(byte[] buf, int offset, int length)	Not part of java.util.SecureRandom, but added for efficiency, since Fortuna supports it.
double	nextDouble()	Implementation from sun's java.util.Random javadocs

int	nextInt()
int	nextInt(int n)	According to the java docs (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Random.html#nextInt(int)) nextInt(n) should return a number between 0 and n (including 0 and excluding n).
long	nextLong()
long	nextLong(long n)	Like the modified nextInt, nextLong(n) returns a random number from 0 through n, including 0, excluding n.
void	setSeed(byte[] buf)
void	shutdown()	Note - methods may hang or NPE or throw IllegalStateExceptions after this

setSeed

public void setSeed(byte[] buf)

Overrides:

setSeed in class SecureRandom

nextInt

public int nextInt(int n)

According to the java docs (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Random.html#nextInt(int)) nextInt(n) should return a number between 0 and n (including 0 and excluding n). However, their pseudocode, as well as sun's, kaffe's, and classpath's implementation INCLUDES NEGATIVE VALUES. Ok, so we're going to have it return between 0 and n (including 0, excluding n), since thats what it has been used for.

Overrides:

nextInt in class RandomSource

nextInt

public int nextInt()

Overrides:

nextInt in class Random

nextLong

public long nextLong(long n)

Like the modified nextInt, nextLong(n) returns a random number from 0 through n, including 0, excluding n.

Overrides:

nextLong in class RandomSource

nextLong

public long nextLong()

Overrides:

nextLong in class Random

nextBoolean

public boolean nextBoolean()

Overrides:

nextBoolean in class Random

nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] buf)

Overrides:

nextBytes in class SecureRandom

nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] buf,
                      int offset,
                      int length)

Not part of java.util.SecureRandom, but added for efficiency, since Fortuna supports it.

Overrides:

nextBytes in class RandomSource

Since:

0.8.12

nextByte

public byte nextByte()

Not part of java.util.SecureRandom, but added for efficiency, since Fortuna supports it.

Since:

0.9.24

nextDouble

public double nextDouble()

Implementation from sun's java.util.Random javadocs

Overrides:

nextDouble in class Random

nextFloat

public float nextFloat()

Implementation from sun's java.util.Random javadocs

Overrides:

nextFloat in class Random

nextGaussian

public double nextGaussian()

Implementation from sun's java.util.Random javadocs

Overrides:

nextGaussian in class Random

nextBits

protected int nextBits(int numBits)

Pull the next numBits of random data off the fortuna instance (returning 0 through 2^numBits-1 Caller must synchronize!

harvester

public EntropyHarvester harvester()

Overrides:

harvester in class RandomSource

feedEntropy

public void feedEntropy(String source,
                        long data,
                        int bitoffset,
                        int bits)

reseed the fortuna

Specified by:

feedEntropy in interface EntropyHarvester

Overrides:

feedEntropy in class RandomSource

Parameters:

source - origin of the entropy, allowing the harvester to determine how much to value the data

bitoffset - bit index into the data array to start (using java standard big-endian)

bits - how many bits to use

feedEntropy

public void feedEntropy(String source,
                        byte[] data,
                        int offset,

reseed the fortuna

Specified by:

feedEntropy in interface EntropyHarvester

Overrides:

feedEntropy in class RandomSource

Parameters:

source - origin of the entropy, allowing the harvester to determine how much to value the data

offset - index into the data array to start

len - how many bytes to use

main

public static void main(String[] args)

Outputs to stdout for dieharder: java -cp build/i2p.jar net.i2p.util.FortunaRandomSource | dieharder -a -g 200
