+ * \brief This file contains CTR_DRBG definitions and functions.
*
+ * CTR_DRBG is a standardized way of building a PRNG from a block-cipher
+ * in counter mode operation, as defined in <em>NIST SP 800-90A:
+ * Recommendation for Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random
+ * Bit Generators</em>.
+ *
+ * The Mbed TLS implementation of CTR_DRBG uses AES-256 as the underlying
+ * block cipher.
