<p>The following functions have been deprecated since OpenSSL 3.0, and can be hidden entirely by defining <b>OPENSSL_API_COMPAT</b> with a suitable version value, see <a href="../man7/openssl_user_macros.html">openssl_user_macros(7)</a>:</p>

<p>All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should instead use <a href="../man3/RAND_set_DRBG_type.html">RAND_set_DRBG_type(3)</a>, <a href="../man3/EVP_RAND.html">EVP_RAND(3)</a> and <a href="../man7/EVP_RAND.html">EVP_RAND(7)</a>.</p>

<p>A <b>RAND_METHOD</b> specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for random number generation.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>RAND_OpenSSL() returns the default <b>RAND_METHOD</b> implementation by OpenSSL. This implementation ensures that the PRNG state is unique for each thread.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If an <b>ENGINE</b> is loaded that provides the RAND API, however, it will be used instead of the method returned by RAND_OpenSSL(). This is deprecated in OpenSSL 3.0.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>RAND_set_rand_method() makes <b>meth</b> the method for PRNG use. If an ENGINE was providing the method, it will be released first.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>RAND_get_rand_method() returns a pointer to the current <b>RAND_METHOD</b>.</p>
