121 * Set the initial seed and set up the entropy source for future reseeds.
122 *
123 * A typical choice for the \p f_entropy and \p p_entropy parameters is
124 * to use the entropy module:
125 * - \p f_entropy is mbedtls_entropy_func();
126 * - \p p_entropy is an instance of ::mbedtls_entropy_context initialized
127 * with mbedtls_entropy_init() (which registers the platform's default
128 * entropy sources).
129 *
130 * You can provide a personalization string in addition to the
131 * entropy source, to make this instantiation as unique as possible.
132 *
133 * \note By default, the security strength as defined by NIST is:
134 * - 128 bits if \p md_info is SHA-1;
135 * - 192 bits if \p md_info is SHA-224;
136 * - 256 bits if \p md_info is SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512.
137 * Note that SHA-256 is just as efficient as SHA-224.
138 * The security strength can be reduced if a smaller
139 * entropy length is set with
140 * mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len().
141 *
142 * \note The default entropy length is the security strength
143 * (converted from bits to bytes). You can override
144 * it by calling mbedtls_hmac_drbg_set_entropy_len().
145 *

147 * the entropy source to obtain a nonce
