Documentation
class CRandom a where Source #
CRandom a is much like the Random class from the System.Random module in the "random" package.
The main difference is CRandom builds on "crypto-api"'s CryptoRandomGen, so it allows
explicit failure.
crandomR (low,high) g as typically instantiated will generate a value between
[low, high] inclusively, swapping the pair if high < low.
Provided instances for crandom g generates randoms between the bounds and between +/- 2^256
for Integer.
The crandomR function has degraded (theoretically unbounded, probabilistically decent) performance
the closer your range size (high - low) is to 2^n (from the top).

Simple users of generators can use CRand for
quick and easy generation of randoms. See

getCRandom, getBytes, and runCRandom.

newGenCRand :: (CryptoRandomGen g, MonadCRandom GenError m, Functor m) => m g Source #
Generator failures should always return the appropriate GenError.
Note GenError in an instance of exception but wether or not an
exception is thrown depends on if the selected generator (read:
if you don't want execptions from code that uses throw then
pass in a generator that never has an error for the used functions)

class CryptoRandomGen g where Source #

Methods
newGen :: ByteString -> Either GenError g Source #
Instantiate a new random bit generator. The provided
bytestring should be of length >= genSeedLength. If the
bytestring is shorter then the call may fail (suggested
error: NotEnoughEntropy). If the bytestring is of
sufficent length the call should always succeed.
genSeedLength :: Tagged g ByteLength Source #
Length of input entropy necessary to instantiate or reseed a generator
genBytes :: ByteLength -> g -> Either GenError (ByteString, g) Source #
genBytes len g generates a random ByteString of length
len and new generator. The MonadCryptoRandom package
has routines useful for converting the ByteString to
commonly needed values (but "cereal" or other
deserialization libraries would also work).
This routine can fail if the generator has gone too long
without a reseed (usually this is in the ball-park of 2^48
requests). Suggested error in this cases is NeedReseed
reseedInfo :: g -> ReseedInfo Source #
Indicates how soon a reseed is needed
reseedPeriod :: g -> ReseedInfo Source #
Indicates the period between reseeds (constant for most generators).
genBytesWithEntropy :: ByteLength -> ByteString -> g -> Either GenError (ByteString, g) Source #
genBytesWithEntropy g i entropy generates i random
bytes and use the additional input entropy in the
generation of the requested data to increase the confidence
our generated data is a secure random stream.
Some generators use entropy to perturb the state of the
generator, meaning:
(_,g2') <- genBytesWithEntropy len g1 ent
(_,g2 ) <- genBytes len g1
g2 /= g2'
But this is not required.
Default:
genBytesWithEntropy g bytes entropy = xor entropy (genBytes g bytes)
reseed :: ByteString -> g -> Either GenError g Source #
If the generator has produced too many random bytes on its
existing seed it will return NeedReseed. In that case,
reseed the generator using this function and a new
high-entropy seed of length >= genSeedLength. Using
bytestrings that are too short can result in an error
(NotEnoughEntropy).
By default this uses System.Entropy to obtain
entropy for newGen.
WARNING: The default implementation opens a file handle which will never be closed!
