silc_rng_init

SYNOPSIS

    void silc_rng_init(SilcRng rng);

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to initialize the random number generator. This is the function that must be called after the RNG is allocated by calling silc_rng_alloc. RNG cannot be used before this function is called.

NOTES

This function may be slow since it will acquire secret noise from the environment in an attempt to set the RNG in unguessable state.
