The _ssl module has RAND_add() RAND_status() and RAND_egd() functions, but not RAND_bytes(). I would be nice to be able to generate random bytes using RAND_bytes(). And maybe also RAND_pseudo_bytes()? I will work on a patch, it's just a reminder. |

ssl_rand.patch adds RAND_bytes() and RAND_pseudo_bytes() functions to the ssl module. I moved /dev/urandom to /dev/urandom.xxx and /dev/random to /dev/random.xxx to test RAND_bytes() error path. In this case, RAND_pseudo_bytes() generates non-cryptographic pseudo-random bytes. RAND_pseudo_bytes() returns a tuple (bytes, is_cryptographic). In test_ssl, I used the assertion that RAND_pseudo_bytes() only generates cryptographic numbers if RAND_status() is 1. If the assertion is wrong, the test can be changed to just test the type of is_crytographic. RAND_bytes() and RAND_pseudo_bytes() raise a SSLError on error using ERR_get_errno() as the error code, whereas other ssl functions uses a value of the py_ssl_error enum. I don't know if it is the good choise. |
