+/**
+ * \file ctr_drbg.h
+ *
+ * \brief This file contains definitions and functions for the
+ * CTR_DRBG pseudorandom generator.
+ *
+ * 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 (default) or AES-128
+ * (if \c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY is enabled at compile time)
+ * as the underlying block cipher, with a derivation function.
+ *
+ * The security strength as defined in NIST SP 800-90A is
+ * 128 bits when AES-128 is used (\c MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_USE_128_BIT_KEY enabled)
+ * and 256 bits otherwise, provided that #MBEDTLS_CTR_DRBG_ENTROPY_LEN is
+ * kept at its default value (and not overridden in mbedtls_config.h) and that the
+ * DRBG instance is set up with default parameters.
+ * See the documentation of mbedtls_ctr_drbg_seed() for more
+ * information.
