FC_SeedRandom
=============
`Name <#name>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
``FC_SeedRandom()`` - mix additional seed material into the random number generator.
`Syntax <#syntax>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
.. code::
CK_RV FC_SeedRandom(
CK_SESSION_HANDLE hSession,
CK_BYTE_PTR pSeed,
CK_ULONG usSeedLen
);
`Parameters <#parameters>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
``hSession``
[in] session handle.
``pSeed``
[in] pointer to the seed material
``usSeedLen``
[in] length of the seed material in bytes.
`Description <#description>`__
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. container::
``FC_SeedRandom()`` mixes additional seed material into the token's random number generator. Note
that ``FC_SeedRandom()`` doesn't provide the initial seed material for the random number
generator. The initial seed material is provided by the NSS cryptographic module itself.
|
| A user may call ``FC_SeedRandom()`` without logging into the token (to assume the NSS User
role).
