Kotlin OTP

This library provides various 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
• Multiplatform support
  • JVM
  • JavaScript
  • Native (Linux)

Installation

Add the following to your build.gradle.kts.

repositories {
    maven("https://git.infendro.com/api/packages/Infendro/maven")
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.infendro:random:1.1.0")
}

Usage

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)
}
