It has got a - really long period and good statistical quality for all - output bits, while still being only about 50% slower than - the default algorithm. </p><p> The same generator is also - used as a long period counter in a new <c>crypto</c> - plugin for the <c>rand</c> module, algorithm - <c>crypto_aes</c>. This plugin uses AES-256 to scramble - the counter which buries any detectable statistical - artifacts. Scrambling is done in chunks which are cached - to get good amortized speed (about half of the default - algorithm). </p> - <p> - Own Id: OTP-14461 Aux Id: PR-1857 </p> - </item> - <item> - <p> - Crypto's single C-file is splitted into multiple files. - The different coding styles in the different parts are - unified into a single style.</p> - <p> - Own Id: OTP-14732 Aux Id: PR-2068, PR-2095 </p> - </item> - <item> - <p> - Build configuration of the <c>crypto</c> application has - been moved from the <c>erts</c> application into the - <c>crypto</c> application.</p> - <p> - Own Id: OTP-15129</p> - </item> - <item> - <p> - Adds two hash functions blake2b and blake2s (64 bit hash - and 32 bit hash respectively).
