/** @fileOverview Random number generator. * * @author Emily Stark * @author Mike Hamburg * @author Dan Boneh */ /** @namespace Random number generator * * @description *

* This random number generator is a derivative of Ferguson and Schneier's * generator Fortuna. It collects entropy from various events into several * pools, implemented by streaming SHA-256 instances. It differs from * ordinary Fortuna in a few ways, though. *

* *

* Most importantly, it has an entropy estimator. This is present because * there is a strong conflict here between making the generator available * as soon as possible, and making sure that it doesn't "run on empty". * In Fortuna, there is a saved state file, and the system is likely to have * time to warm up. *

* *

* Second, because users are unlikely to stay on the page for very long, * and to speed startup time, the number of pools increases logarithmically: * a new pool is created when the previous one is actually used for a reseed. * This gives the same asymptotic guarantees as Fortuna, but gives more * entropy to early reseeds. *

* *

* The entire mechanism here feels pretty klunky. Furthermore, there are * several improvements that should be made, including support for * dedicated cryptographic functions that may be present in some browsers; * state files in local storage; cookies containing randomness; etc. So * look for improvements in future versions. *
