[gnutls-devel] PKCS#11 generate random functionality

[Wolfgang Meyer zu Bergsten]

Hello,
is there interest in including the random generator functionality of
PKCS#11 tokens in GnuTLS? I would be happy to contribute the attached
implementation. I tried my best to follow the GnuTLS coding standards
and other conventions in the existing code.

The patch implements a new public function:
int
gnutls_pkcs11_token_get_random (const char *token_url,
                                size_t len,
                                gnutls_datum_t *rnddata)

If you are interested in the functionality, but are unhappy with the
proposed implementation, I will be ready to change the code accordingly.

best regards,
Wolfgang
