The patch adds a new RAND engine for OpenSSL. The engine uses the system's entropy source (/dev/urandom, CryptGenRandom(), getentropy() ...). The engine is automatically installed with OpenSSL as default RAND engine. The new engine fixes the fork() bug once and for all (https://gist.github.com/tiran/a9ba8c51cc7d1b75d3bc1d3f24411b4c) The engine is a reimplementation of https://cryptography.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hazmat/backends/openssl/?highlight=engine#os-random-engine and a new take on #18747. I have added a couple of private helper methods to the _ssl module. I'm not sure if we should keep them, remove them or make them public. |
