<p>BN_rand, BN_priv_rand, BN_pseudo_rand, BN_rand_range, BN_priv_rand_range, BN_pseudo_rand_range - generate pseudo-random number</p>

<h1 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h1>

<pre><code> #include &lt;openssl/bn.h&gt;

 int BN_rand(BIGNUM *rnd, int bits, int top, int bottom);

 int BN_priv_rand(BIGNUM *rnd, int bits, int top, int bottom);

 int BN_pseudo_rand(BIGNUM *rnd, int bits, int top, int bottom);

 int BN_rand_range(BIGNUM *rnd, BIGNUM *range);

<h1 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h1>

<p>BN_rand() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number of <b>bits</b> in length and stores it in <b>rnd</b>. If <b>bits</b> is less than zero, or too small to accommodate the requirements specified by the <b>top</b> and <b>bottom</b> parameters, an error is returned. The <b>top</b> parameters specifies requirements on the most significant bit of the generated number. If it is <b>BN_RAND_TOP_ANY</b>, there is no constraint. If it is <b>BN_RAND_TOP_ONE</b>, the top bit must be one. If it is <b>BN_RAND_TOP_TWO</b>, the two most significant bits of the number will be set to 1, so that the product of two such random numbers will always have 2*<b>bits</b> length. If <b>bottom</b> is <b>BN_RAND_BOTTOM_ODD</b>, the number will be odd; if it is <b>BN_RAND_BOTTOM_ANY</b> it can be odd or even. If <b>bits</b> is 1 then <b>top</b> cannot also be <b>BN_RAND_TOP_TWO</b>.</p>

<p>BN_rand_range() generates a cryptographically strong pseudo-random number <b>rnd</b> in the range 0 &lt;= <b>rnd</b> &lt; <b>range</b>.</p>

<p>BN_priv_rand() and BN_priv_rand_range() have the same semantics as BN_rand() and BN_rand_range() respectively. They are intended to be used for generating values that should remain private, and mirror the same difference between <a href="../man3/RAND_bytes.html">RAND_bytes(3)</a> and <a href="../man3/RAND_priv_bytes.html">RAND_priv_bytes(3)</a>.</p>

<h1 id="NOTES">NOTES</h1>

<p>Always check the error return value of these functions and do not take randomness for granted: an error occurs if the CSPRNG has not been seeded with enough randomness to ensure an unpredictable byte sequence.</p>

<h1 id="RETURN-VALUES">RETURN VALUES</h1>

<p>The functions return 1 on success, 0 on error. The error codes can be obtained by <a href="../man3/ERR_get_error.html">ERR_get_error(3)</a>.</p>

<h1 id="HISTORY">HISTORY</h1>

<ul>

<li><p>Starting with OpenSSL release 1.1.0, BN_pseudo_rand() has been identical to BN_rand() and BN_pseudo_rand_range() has been identical to BN_rand_range(). The &quot;pseudo&quot; functions should not be used and may be deprecated in a future release.</p>

</li>
<li><p>The BN_priv_rand() and BN_priv_rand_range() functions were added in OpenSSL 1.1.1.</p>

</li>
</ul>
