2019-11-18random: stop retrieving random bytes from OpenSSLfanquake
On the ::SLOW path we would use OpenSSL as an additional source of random bytes. This commit removes that functionality. Note that this was always only an additional source, and that we never checked the return value RAND_bytes(): https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/man3/RAND_bytes.html RAND_bytes() puts num cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes into buf.
2019-11-12Run background seeding periodically instead of unpredictablyPieter Wuille
* Instead of calling RandAddSeedSleep anytime the scheduler goes idle, call its replacement (RandAddSeedPeriodic) just once per minute. This has better guarantees of actually being run, and helps limit how frequently the dynamic env data is gathered. * Since this code runs once per minute regardless now, we no longer need to keep track of the last time strengthening was run; just do it always. * Make strengthening time context dependent (100 ms at startup, 10 ms once per minute afterwards).

2019-02-03Use RdSeed when available, and reduce RdRand loadPieter Wuille
This introduces support for autodetecting and using the RdSeed instruction. In addition: * In SeedFast, only 64 bits of entropy are generated through RdRand (256 was relatively slow). * In SeedStartup, 256 bits of entropy are generated, using RdSeed (preferably) or RdRand (otherwise).

2019-01-16Switch all RNG code to the built-in PRNG.Pieter Wuille
It includes the following policy changes: * All GetRand* functions seed the stack pointer and rdrand result (in addition to the performance counter) * The periodic entropy added by the idle scheduler now seeds stack pointer, rdrand and perfmon data (once every 10 minutes) in addition to just a sleep timing. * The entropy added when calling GetStrongRandBytes no longer includes the once-per-10-minutes perfmon data on windows (it is moved to the idle scheduler instead, where latency matters less). Other changes: * OpenSSL is no longer seeded directly anywhere. Instead, any generated randomness through our own RNG is fed back to OpenSSL (after an additional hashing step to prevent leaking our RNG state). * Seeding that was previously done directly in RandAddSeedSleep is now moved to SeedSleep(), which is indirectly invoked through ProcRand from RandAddSeedSleep. * Seeding that was previously done directly in GetStrongRandBytes() is now moved to SeedSlow(), which is indirectly invoked through ProcRand from GetStrongRandBytes().

2017-12-13Merge #11558: Minimal code changes to allow msvc compilationWladimir J. van der Laan
fbf327b Minimal code changes to allow msvc compilation. (Aaron Clauson) Pull request description: These changes are required to allow the Bitcoin source to build with Microsoft's C++ compiler (#11562 is also required). I looked around for a better place for the typedef of ssize_t which is in random.h. The best candidate looks like src/compat.h but I figured including that header in random.h is a bigger change than the typedef. Note that the same typedef is in at least two other places including the OpenSSL and Berkeley DB headers so some of the Bitcoin code already picks it up.

Move the OS random test to a sanity check function that is called every time bitcoind is initialized. Keep `src/test/random_tests.cpp` for the case that later random tests are added, and keep a rudimentary test that just calls the sanity check.

2017-02-21util: Specific GetOSRandom for Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSDWladimir J. van der Laan
These are available in sandboxes without access to files or devices. Also [they are safer and more straightforward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy-supplying_system_calls) to use than `/dev/urandom` as reading from a file has quite a few edge cases: - Linux: `getrandom(buf, buflen, 0)`. [getrandom(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html) was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel. - OpenBSD: `getentropy(buf, buflen)`. The [getentropy(2)](http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2) function appeared in OpenBSD 5.6. - FreeBSD and NetBSD: `sysctl(KERN_ARND)`. Not sure when this was added but it has existed for quite a while. Alternatives: - Linux has sysctl `CTL_KERN` / `KERN_RANDOM` / `RANDOM_UUID` which gives 16 bytes of randomness. This may be available on older kernels, however [sysctl is deprecated on Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/605392/) and even removed in some distros so we shouldn't use it. Add tests for `GetOSRand()`: - Test that no error happens (otherwise `RandFailure()` which aborts) - Test that all 32 bytes are overwritten (initialize with zeros, try multiple times) Discussion: - When to use these? Currently they are always used when available. Another option would be to use them only when `/dev/urandom` is not available. But this would mean these code paths receive less testing, and I'm not sure there is any reason to prefer `/dev/urandom`. Closes: #9676

2016-10-17Kill insecure_random and associated global stateWladimir J. van der Laan
There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests. This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically seeded on creation. This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee rounding, or randomization for coin selection. As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this should also get rid of the potential race conditions. - I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for discussion...) - The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit, it does not need to be random nor unpredictable. - To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is passed into PushAddress as appropriate. There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.

2014-11-07Make sure that GetRandomBytes never failsWladimir J. van der Laan
We're using GetRandomBytes in several contexts where it's either unwieldy to return an error, or an error would mean a fatal exception anyhow. @gmaxwell checked OpenSSL a while ago and discovered that it never actually fails, but it can't hurt to be a bit paranoid here.
