There is only one random number generator (RNG) used in the NSS cryptographic module. The RNG is an Approved RNG, implementing Algorithm Hash_DRBG of [http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-90/SP800-90revised_March2007.pdf SP 800-90]. (The RNG validation certificate is [http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/rng/rngval.html#208 Cert# 208 NEEDSUPDATEFOR_3_12_X].) The Approved RNG is used within the NSS cryptographic module for all cryptographic purposes, including the generation of cryptographic keys used by an Approved security function. | There is only one random number generator (RNG) used in the NSS cryptographic module.
