@ -483,11 +483,11 @@ If no driver implements the random generation entry point family, the core provi
This operation family requires the following type, entry points and parameters (TODO: where exactly are the parameters in the JSON structure?):
* Type `"random_context_t"`: the type of a random generation context.
* `"init_random"` (optional): if this function is present, [the core calls it once](#random-generator-initialization) after allocating a `"random_context_t"` object.
* `"add_entropy"` (entry point): the core calls this function to [inject entropy](#entropy-injection).
* `"get_random"` (entry point): the core calls this function whenever it needs to [obtain random data](#the-get_random-entry-point).
* `"initial_entropy_size"` (integer): the minimum number of bytes of entropy that the core must supply before the driver can output random data. This can be `0` if the driver includes an entropy source of its own.
* `"reseed_entropy_size"` (integer): the minimum number of bytes of entropy that the core must supply when the driver runs out of entropy. This can be `0` if the driver includes an entropy source of its own.
* `"init_random"` (entry point, optional): if this function is present, [the core calls it once](#random-generator-initialization) after allocating a `"random_context_t"` object.
* `"add_entropy"` (entry point, mandatory): the core calls this function to [inject entropy](#entropy-injection).
* `"get_random"` (entry point, mandatory): the core calls this function whenever it needs to [obtain random data](#the-get_random-entry-point).
* `"initial_entropy_size"` (integer, optional): the minimum number of bytes of entropy that the core must supply before the driver can output random data. This can be `0` if the driver includes an entropy source of its own. If omitted, the value is `0`.
* `"reseed_entropy_size"` (integer, optional): the minimum number of bytes of entropy that the core must supply when the driver runs out of entropy. This value is also a hint for the size to supply if the core makes additional calls to `"add_entropy"`, for example to enforce prediction resistance. If omitted, the core chooses a value which is at least the expected security strength of the device.
Random generation is not parametrized by an algorithm. The choice of algorithm is up to the driver.
