/**
* \file ctr_drbg.h
*
* \brief This file contains definitions and functions for the
* CTR_DRBG pseudorandom generator.
*
* CTR_DRBG is a standardized way of building a PRNG from a block-cipher
* in counter mode operation, as defined in <em>NIST SP 800-90A:
* Recommendation for Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random
* Bit Generators</em>.
*
* The Mbed TLS implementation of CTR_DRBG uses AES-256 (default) or AES-128
* (if \c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY is enabled at compile time)
* as the underlying block cipher, with a derivation function.
*
* The security strength as defined in NIST SP 800-90A is
* 128 bits when AES-128 is used (\c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY enabled)
* and 256 bits otherwise, provided that #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is
* kept at its default value (and not overridden in config.h) and that the
* DRBG instance is set up with default parameters.
* See the documentation of mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() for more
* information.
