/****h* silccrypt/SILC RNG Interface
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 * SILC Random Number Generator is cryptographically strong pseudo random
 * number generator. It is used to generate all the random numbers needed
 * in the SILC sessions. All key material and other sources needing random
 * numbers use this generator.
 *
 * The interface provides functions for retrieving different size of
 * random number and arbitrary length of random data buffers. The interface
 * also defines Global RNG API which makes it possible to call any
 * RNG API function without specific RNG context.

 * NAME
 * 
 *    typedef struct SilcRngStruct *SilcRng;
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    This context is the actual Random Number Generator and is allocated
 *    by silc_rng_alloc and given as argument usually to all silc_rng_*
 *    functions.  It is freed by the silc_rng_free function.  The RNG is
 *    initialized by calling the silc_rng_init function.

/****f* silccrypt/SilcRNGAPI/silc_rng_alloc
 *
 * SYNOPSIS
 *
 *    SilcRng silc_rng_alloc(void);
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    Allocates new SILC random number generator and returns context to
 *    it.  After the RNG is allocated it must be initialized by calling
 *    silc_rng_init before it actually can be used to produce any random
 *    number.  This function returns NULL if RNG could not allocated.

 *
 * SYNOPSIS

 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    Frees the random number generator and destroys the random number
 *    pool.

/****f* silccrypt/SilcRNGAPI/silc_rng_init
 *
 * SYNOPSIS
 *
 *    void silc_rng_init(SilcRng rng);
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    This function is used to initialize the random number generator.
 *    This is the function that must be called after the RNG is allocated
 *    by calling silc_rng_alloc.  RNG cannot be used before this function
 *    is called.
 *
 * NOTES
 *
 *    This function may be slow since it will acquire secret noise from
 *    the environment in an attempt to set the RNG in unguessable state.

 *
 *    Returns one 8-bit random byte from the random number generator.

 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    Returns one 8-bit random byte from the random number generator as
 *    fast as possible.
 *
 * NOTES
 *
 *    This will read the data from /dev/urandom if it is available in the
 *    operating system, since this may be faster than retrieving a byte
 *    from the SILC RNG.  If /dev/urandom is not available this will take
 *    the byte from SILC RNG and is effectively same as silc_rng_get_byte.

 *
 * SYNOPSIS

 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    This function sets the `rng' if non-NULL as global RNG context.
 *    When any of the silc_rng_global_* functions is called the `rng' is
 *    used as RNG.  If `rng' is NULL this will allocate new RNG as global
 *    RNG.  The application in this case must free it later by calling
 *    silc_rng_global_uninit.  Returns TRUE after Global RNG is initialized.
 *
 * NOTES
 *
 *    If `rng' was non-NULL, the silc_rng_init must have been called for
 *    the `rng' already.
 *
 *    This function can be used to define the `rng' as global RNG and then
 *    use silc_rng_global_* functions easily without need to provide
 *    the RNG as argument.
