gobbs

A Blum-Blum-Shub-Generator in Go.

Status

Testing

Usage

Create a new generator with default config:

import "github.com/tsdtsdtsd/gobbs"

g, err := gobbs.New()

New() will generate two random blum primes, a blum integer and a random seed. If you want to use your own numbers from an other source, you can use NewWithConfig():

g, err := gobbs.NewWithConfig(&gobbs.Config{
    PrimeP: myPrimeOne,
    PrimeQ: myPrimeTwo,
    Seed: mySeed,
    Bits: 1024,
})

The generator implements io.Reader:

buf := make([]byte, 1)

for {
    g.Read(buf)
    fmt.Printf("%02x.", buf)
}

Benchmarks

bits = 1024
readLength = 512
