/**
* @file
* @brief Interface to an HMAC-PRNG implementation.
*
* Overview: A pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) generates a sequence
* of numbers that have a distribution close to the one expected
* for a sequence of truly random numbers. The NIST Special
* Publication 800-90A specifies several mechanisms to generate
* sequences of pseudo random numbers, including the HMAC-PRNG one
* which is based on HMAC. TinyCrypt implements HMAC-PRNG with
* certain modifications from the NIST SP 800-90A spec.
*
* Security: A cryptographically secure PRNG depends on the existence of an
* entropy source to provide a truly random seed as well as the
* security of the primitives used as the building blocks (HMAC and
* SHA256, for TinyCrypt).
*
* The NIST SP 800-90A standard tolerates a null personalization,
* while TinyCrypt requires a non-null personalization. This is
* because a personalization string (the host name concatenated
* with a time stamp, for example) is easily computed and might be
* the last line of defense against failure of the entropy source.
*
* Requires: - SHA-256
* - HMAC
*
* Usage: 1) call tc_hmac_prng_init to set the HMAC key and process the
* personalization data.
*
* 2) call tc_hmac_prng_reseed to process the seed and additional
* input.
*
* 3) call tc_hmac_prng_generate to out put the pseudo-random data.
