# # For a description of the syntax of this configuration file, # see the file kconfig-language.txt in the NuttX tools repository. # config ARCH_HAVE_RNG bool config DEV_RANDOM bool "Enable /dev/random" default y depends on ARCH_HAVE_RNG ---help--- Enable support for /dev/random provided by a hardware TRNG. config DEV_URANDOM bool "Enable /dev/urandom" default n ---help--- Enable support for /dev/urandom provided by either a hardware TRNG or by a software PRNG implementation. NOTE: This option may not be cryptographially secure and should not be enabled if you are concerned about cyptographically secure pseudo-random numbers (CPRNG) and do not know the characteristics of the software PRNG implementation! if DEV_URANDOM choice prompt "/dev/urandom algorithm" default DEV_URANDOM_ARCH if ARCH_HAVE_RNG default DEV_URANDOM_XORSHIFT128 if !ARCH_HAVE_RNG config DEV_URANDOM_XORSHIFT128 bool "xorshift128" ---help--- xorshift128 is a pseudorandom number generator that is simple, portable, and can also be used on 8-bit and 16-bit MCUs. NOTE: Not cyptographically secure config DEV_URANDOM_CONGRUENTIAL bool "Congruential" ---help--- Use the same congruential general used with srand(). This algorithm is computationally more intense and uses double precision floating point. NOTE: Good randomness from the congruential generator also requires that you also select CONFIG_LIBC_RAND_ORDER > 2 NOTE: Not cyptographically secure config DEV_URANDOM_RANDOM_POOL bool "Entropy pool" depends on CRYPTO_RANDOM_POOL ---help--- Use the entropy pool CPRNG output for urandom algorithm. NOTE: May or may not be cyptographically secure, depending upon the quality entropy available to entropy pool. config DEV_URANDOM_ARCH bool "Architecture-specific" depends on ARCH_HAVE_RNG ---help--- The implementation of /dev/urandom is provided in archtecture- specific logic using hardware TRNG logic. architecture-specific logic must provide the whole implementation in this case, including the function devurandom_register(). In this case, /dev/urandom may refer to the same driver as /dev/random. NOTE: May or may not be cyptographically secure, depending upon the implementation. endchoice # /dev/urandom algorithm endif # DEV_URANDOM
