# Kotlin OTP
This library provides various [Pseudorandom Number Generator](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator)
implementations in Kotlin Multiplatform.
## Features
* Generate random numbers using Kotlin's Random interface.
* Seed the PRNGs to receive predictable results.
* Reseed the PRNGs to add entropy to the following results.
* [HMAC DRBG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NIST_SP_800-90A#Hash_DRBG_and_HMAC_DRBG)
* Multiplatform support
* JVM
* JavaScript
* Native (Linux)
## Installation
Add the following to your `build.gradle.kts`.
```kotlin
repositories {
maven("https://git.infendro.com/api/packages/Infendro/maven")
}
dependencies {
implementation("com.infendro:random:1.0.0")
}
```
## Usage
```kotlin
import com.infendro.hash.SHA256
import com.infendro.random.PRNG
fun main() {
// create a PRNG instance
val rng = PRNG.HMAC(SHA256)
// seed the PRNG to receive predictable results
rng.seed(/* some seed */)
val a = rng.nextInt()
val b = rng.nextInt()
val c = rng.nextInt()
// reseed the PRNG to add entropy to the following results
rng.reseed(/* some random entropy */)
val d = rng.nextInt()
val e = rng.nextInt()
val f = rng.nextInt()
// each run:
// a, b, and c will be predictable
// d, e, and f will be random (assuming the entropy is also random)
}
```
