.
Note!
RSA key generation is only available if the runtime was
built with dirty scheduler support. Otherwise, attempting to
generate an RSA key will throw exception error:notsup
.
hash(Type, Data) -> Digest
Type = md4 | hash_algorithms()
Data = iodata()
Digest = binary()
Computes a message digest of type Type
from Data
.
May throw exception notsup
in case the chosen Type
is not supported by the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
hash_init(Type) -> Context
Type = md4 | hash_algorithms()
Initializes the context for streaming hash operations. Type
determines
which digest to use. The returned context should be used as argument
to hash_update.
May throw exception notsup
in case the chosen Type
is not supported by the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
hash_update(Context, Data) -> NewContext
Data = iodata()
Updates the digest represented by Context
using the given Data
. Context
must have been generated using hash_init
or a previous call to this function. Data
can be any length. NewContext
must be passed into the next call to hash_update
or hash_final.
hash_final(Context) -> Digest
Digest = binary()
Finalizes the hash operation referenced by Context
returned
from a previous call to hash_update.

Key = iodata()
Context = binary()
Initializes the context for streaming HMAC operations. Type
determines
which hash function to use in the HMAC operation. Key
is the authentication
key. The key can be any length.
hmac_update(Context, Data) -> NewContext

hmac_init). Data
can be any length. NewContext
must be passed into the next call to hmac_update
or to one of the functions hmac_final and
hmac_final_n
Warning!
Do not use a Context
as argument in more than one
call to hmac_update or hmac_final. The semantics of reusing old contexts
in any way is undefined and could even crash the VM in earlier releases.
The reason for this limitation is a lack of support in the underlying
OpenSSL API.
hmac_final(Context) -> Mac
Context = Mac = binary()
Finalizes the HMAC operation referenced by Context
. The size of the resultant MAC is
determined by the type of hash function used to generate it.

Context = Mac = binary()
HashLen = non_neg_integer()
Finalizes the HMAC operation referenced by Context
. HashLen
must be greater than
zero. Mac
will be a binary with at most HashLen
bytes. Note that if HashLen is greater than the actual number of bytes returned from the underlying hash, the returned hash will have fewer than HashLen
bytes.

cmac(Type, Key, Data, MacLength) -> Mac
Type = block_cipher()
Key = iodata()
Data = iodata()
MacLength = integer()

crypto and the underlying OpenSSL library. If crypto was built
with FIPS support this can be either enabled
(when
running in FIPS mode) or not_enabled
. For other builds
this value is always not_supported
.
Warning!
In FIPS mode all non-FIPS compliant algorithms are
disabled and throw exception not_supported
. Check
supports that in
FIPS mode returns the restricted list of available
algorithms.

Name = binary()
VerNum = integer()
VerStr = binary()
Provides the name and version of the libraries used by crypto.

the numeric version according to the library's own versioning
scheme. VerStr
contains a text variant of the version.
> info_lib().
[{<<"OpenSSL">>,269484095,<<"OpenSSL 1.1.0c 10 Nov 2016"">>}]
Note!
From OTP R16 the numeric version represents the version of the OpenSSL
header files (openssl/opensslv.h
) used when crypto was compiled.
The text variant represents the OpenSSL library used at runtime.
In earlier OTP versions both numeric and text was taken from the library.

stop() -> ok
Equivalent to application:stop(crypto).
strong_rand_bytes(N) -> binary()
N = integer()
Generates N bytes randomly uniform 0..255, and returns the
result in a binary. Uses a cryptographically secure prng seeded and
periodically mixed with operating system provided entropy. By default
this is the RAND_bytes
method from OpenSSL.
May throw exception low_entropy
in case the random generator
failed due to lack of secure "randomness".
rand_seed() -> rand:state()
Creates state object for
random number generation,
in order to generate cryptographically strong random numbers
(based on OpenSSL's BN_rand_range
),
and saves it in the process dictionary before returning it as well.
See also
rand:seed/1 and
rand_seed_s/0.
When using the state object from this function the
rand functions using it
may throw exception low_entropy
in case the random generator
failed due to lack of secure "randomness".
Example
_ = crypto:rand_seed(), _IntegerValue = rand:uniform(42), % [1; 42] _FloatValue = rand:uniform(). % [0.0; 1.0[
rand_seed_s() -> rand:state()
Creates state object for
random number generation,
in order to generate cryptographically strongly random numbers
(based on OpenSSL's BN_rand_range
).
See also
rand:seed_s/1.
When using the state object from this function the
rand functions using it
may throw exception low_entropy
in case the random generator
failed due to lack of secure "randomness".
Note!
The state returned from this function can not be used to get a reproducable random sequence as from the other rand functions, since reproducability does not match cryptographically safe.
The only supported usage is to generate one distinct random sequence from this start state.
rand_seed_alg(Alg) -> rand:state()
Alg = crypto | crypto_cache
Creates state object for random number generation, in order to generate cryptographically strong random numbers. See also rand:seed/1 and rand_seed_alg_s/1.
When using the state object from this function the
rand functions using it
may throw exception low_entropy
in case the random generator
failed due to lack of secure "randomness".
The cache size can be changed from its default value using the
crypto app's
configuration parameter rand_cache_size
.
Example
_ = crypto:rand_seed_alg(crypto_cache), _IntegerValue = rand:uniform(42), % [1; 42] _FloatValue = rand:uniform(). % [0.0; 1.0[
rand_seed_alg_s(Alg) -> rand:state()
Alg = crypto | crypto_cache
Creates state object for random number generation, in order to generate cryptographically strongly random numbers. See also rand:seed_s/1.
If Alg
is crypto
this function behaves exactly like
rand_seed_s/0.
If Alg
is crypto_cache
this function
fetches random data with OpenSSL's RAND_bytes
and caches it for speed using an internal word size
of 56 bits that makes calculations fast on 64 bit machines.
When using the state object from this function the
rand functions using it
may throw exception low_entropy
in case the random generator
failed due to lack of secure "randomness".
The cache size can be changed from its default value using the
crypto app's
configuration parameter rand_cache_size
.
Note!
The state returned from this function can not be used to get a reproducable random sequence as from the other rand functions, since reproducability does not match cryptographically safe.
In fact since random data is cached some numbers may get reproduced if you try, but this is unpredictable.
The only supported usage is to generate one distinct random sequence from this start state.

returned if the engine can't be loaded.
The function throws a badarg if the parameters are in wrong format. It may also throw the exception notsup in case there is no engine support in the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
See also the chapter Engine Load in the User's Guide.
engine_load(EngineId, PreCmds, PostCmds, EngineMethods) -> Result
EngineId = unicode:chardata()
PreCmds, PostCmds = [{unicode:chardata(), unicode:chardata()}]
EngineMethods = [engine_method_type()]
Result = {ok, Engine::term()} | {error, Reason::term()}
Loads the OpenSSL engine given by EngineId
if it is available and then returns ok and
an engine handle. An error tuple is returned if the engine can't be loaded.
The function throws a badarg if the parameters are in wrong format. It may also throw the exception notsup in case there is no engine support in the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
See also the chapter Engine Load in the User's Guide.
engine_unload(Engine) -> Result
Engine = term()
Result = ok | {error, Reason::term()}
Unloads the OpenSSL engine given by EngineId
.
An error tuple is returned if the engine can't be unloaded.
The function throws a badarg if the parameter is in wrong format. It may also throw the exception notsup in case there is no engine support in the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
See also the chapter Engine Load in the User's Guide.
engine_list() -> Result
Result = [EngineId::unicode:chardata()]
List the id's of all engines in OpenSSL's internal list.
It may also throw the exception notsup in case there is no engine support in the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
See also the chapter Engine Load in the User's Guide.
engine_ctrl_cmd_string(Engine, CmdName, CmdArg) -> Result
Engine = term()
CmdName = unicode:chardata()
CmdArg = unicode:chardata()
Result = ok | {error, Reason::term()}
Sends ctrl commands to the OpenSSL engine given by Engine
.
This function is the same as calling engine_ctrl_cmd_string/4
with
Optional
set to false
.
The function throws a badarg if the parameters are in wrong format. It may also throw the exception notsup in case there is no engine support in the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
engine_ctrl_cmd_string(Engine, CmdName, CmdArg, Optional) -> Result
Engine = term()
CmdName = unicode:chardata()
CmdArg = unicode:chardata()
Optional = boolean()
Result = ok | {error, Reason::term()}
Sends ctrl commands to the OpenSSL engine given by Engine
.
Optional
is a boolean argument that can relax the semantics of the function.
If set to true
it will only return failure if the ENGINE supported the given
command name but failed while executing it, if the ENGINE doesn't support the command
name it will simply return success without doing anything. In this case we assume
the user is only supplying commands specific to the given ENGINE so we set this to
false
.
The function throws a badarg if the parameters are in wrong format. It may also throw the exception notsup in case there is no engine support in the underlying OpenSSL implementation.
