1.23 deraadt 50: places no significant restriction on the export of

1.3 deraadt 58: Hence the OpenBSD project has embedded cryptography into numerous places
59: in the operating system. We require that the cryptographic software we

1.32 deraadt 61: We do not directly use cryptography with nasty patents.
1.13 deraadt 62: We also require that such software is from countries with useful export
1.16 deraadt 63: licenses because we do not wish to break the laws of any country.
64: The cryptographic software components which we use currently were
65: written in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Germany, Greece, Norway, and
66: Sweden.
67: <p>
1.7 deraadt 68:
1.15 deraadt 69: When we create OpenBSD releases or snapshots we build our release
70: binaries in free countries to assure that the sources and binaries we
71: provide to users are free of tainting. In the past our release binary
72: builds have been done in Canada, Sweden, and Germany.<p>
73:
1.94 miod 74: OpenBSD ships with Kerberos IV and Kerberos V included. The two codebases

1.32 deraadt 132:
1.10 deraadt 133: A Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) provides applications with a stream of
134: numbers which have certain important properties for system security:<p>
135:
136: <ul>
1.11 deraadt 137: <li>It should be impossible for an outsider to predict the output of the
138: random number generator even with knowledge of previous output.
139: <li>The generated numbers should not have repeating patterns which means
140: the PRNG should have a very long cycle length.
1.10 deraadt 141: </ul>
1.32 deraadt 142: <p>
1.10 deraadt 143:
1.13 deraadt 144: A PRNG is normally just an algorithm where the same initial starting
145: values will yield the same sequence of outputs. On a multiuser
146: operating system there are many sources which allow seeding the PRNG
147: with random data. The OpenBSD kernel uses the mouse interrupt timing,
148: network data interrupt latency, inter-keypress timing and disk IO
149: information to fill an entropy pool. Random numbers are available for
150: kernel routines and are exported via devices to userland programs.
1.36 deraadt 151: So far random numbers are used in the following places:<p>
1.13 deraadt 152:

1.87 brad 245: Our IPsec stack has been modified so that cryptographic functions get
246: done out-of-line. Most simple software IPsec stacks need to do
1.82 pvalchev 247: cryptography when processing each packet. This results in synchronous
1.73 aaron 248: performance. To use hardware properly and speedily one needs to separate

1.77 deraadt 357: 3com gave us a driver to support the ethernet component of this chipset,

359: has now been integrated once we were able to get a free license on the

361: because of the high turnover rates at 3Com), the IPsec functions of the

375: most drivers we have for Intel networking hardware were written without
