31 /// Security Engine provides AES, SHA and a RNG. The PadlockRNG class provides access
32 /// to the RNG.
33 /// \details The VIA generator uses an 8 byte FIFO buffer for random numbers. The
34 /// generator can be configured to discard bits from the buffer to resist analysis.
35 /// The <tt>divisor</tt> controls the number of bytes discarded. The formula for
36 /// the discard amount is <tt>2**divisor - 1</tt>. When <tt>divisor=0</tt> no bits
37 /// are discarded and the entire 8 byte buffer is read. If <tt>divisor=3</tt> then
38 /// 7 bytes are discarded and 1 byte is read. TheVIA SDK samples use <tt>divisor=1</tt>.
39 /// \details Cryptography Research, Inc (CRI) audited the Padlock Security Engine
40 /// in 2003. CRI provided recommendations to operate the generator for secure and
41 /// non-secure applications. Additionally, the Programmers Guide and SDK provided a
42 /// different configuration in the sample code.
43 /// \details You can operate the generator according to CRI recommendations by setting
44 /// <tt>divisor</tt>, reading one word (or partial word) at a time from the FIFO, and
45 /// then inspecting the MSR after each read.
46 /// \details The audit report with recommendations is available on the Crypto++ wiki
