Hi,
If you are not using an engine, then pseudorand is implemented in
md_rand.c : function ssleay_rand_pseudo_bytes (line 524).
Cheers,

According to<http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/RAND_bytes.html>,
"RAND_bytes() returns 1 on success, 0 otherwise. The error code can be
obtained by ERR_get_error(3). RAND_pseudo_bytes() returns 1 if the
bytes generated are cryptographically strong, 0 otherwise. Both
functions return -1 if they are not supported by the current RAND
method. "
From<http://cvs.openssl.org/fileview?f=openssl/crypto/rand/
rand_lib.c&v=1.20>:
int RAND_pseudo_bytes(unsigned char *buf, int num)
{
const RAND_METHOD *meth = RAND_get_rand_method();
if (meth&& meth->pseudorand)
return meth->pseudorand(buf,num);
return(-1);
}
Where is pseudorand defined? I figured maybe each of the rand_win.c,
rand_unix.c, etc, would define it, but the string "pseudorand" doesn't
appear to occur in any of those files.
Any ideas?
