+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+\&\fBRAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()\fR sets the callbacks for obtaining fresh entropy and
+the nonce when reseeding the given \fBdrbg\fR.
+The callback functions are implemented and provided by the caller.
+Their parameter lists need to match the function prototypes above.
+.PP
+Setting the callbacks is allowed only if the \s-1DRBG\s0 has not been initialized yet.
+Otherwise, the operation will fail.
+To change the settings for one of the three shared DRBGs it is necessary to call
+\&\fBRAND_DRBG_uninstantiate()\fR first.
+.PP
+The \fBget_entropy\fR() callback is called by the \fBdrbg\fR when it requests fresh
+random input.
+It is expected that the callback allocates and fills a random buffer of size
+\&\fBmin_len\fR <= size <= \fBmax_len\fR (in bytes) which contains at least \fBentropy\fR
+bits of randomness.
+The \fBprediction_resistance\fR flag indicates whether the reseeding was
+triggered by a prediction resistance request.
+.PP
+The buffer's address is to be returned in *\fBpout\fR and the number of collected
+randomness bytes as return value.
+.PP
+If the callback fails to acquire at least \fBentropy\fR bits of randomness,
+it must indicate an error by returning a buffer length of 0.
+.PP
+If \fBprediction_resistance\fR was requested and the random source of the \s-1DRBG\s0
+does not satisfy the conditions requested by [\s-1NIST SP 800\-90C\s0], then
+it must also indicate an error by returning a buffer length of 0.
+See \s-1NOTES\s0 section for more details.
+.PP
+The \fBcleanup_entropy\fR() callback is called from the \fBdrbg\fR to to clear and
+free the buffer allocated previously by \fBget_entropy()\fR.
+The values \fBout\fR and \fBoutlen\fR are the random buffer's address and length,
+as returned by the \fBget_entropy()\fR callback.
+.PP
+The \fBget_nonce\fR() and \fBcleanup_nonce\fR() callbacks are used to obtain a nonce
+and free it again. A nonce is only required for instantiation (not for reseeding)
+and only in the case where the \s-1DRBG\s0 uses a derivation function.
+The callbacks are analogous to \fBget_entropy()\fR and \fBcleanup_entropy()\fR,
+except for the missing prediction_resistance flag.
+.PP
+If the derivation function is disabled, then no nonce is used for instantiation,
+and the \fBget_nonce\fR() and \fBcleanup_nonce\fR() callbacks can be omitted by
+setting them to \s-1NULL.\s0
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
+\&\fBRAND_DRBG_set_callbacks()\fR return 1 on success, and 0 on failure
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+It is important that \fBcleanup_entropy\fR() and \fBcleanup_nonce\fR() clear the buffer
+contents safely before freeing it, in order not to leave sensitive information
+about the \s-1DRBG\s0's state in memory.
+.PP
+A request for prediction resistance can only be satisfied by pulling fresh
+entropy from one of the approved entropy sources listed in section 5.5.2 of
+[\s-1NIST SP 800\-90C\s0].
+Since the default implementation of the get_entropy callback does not have access
+to such an approved entropy source, a request for prediction resistance will
+always fail.
+In other words, prediction resistance is currently not supported yet by the \s-1DRBG.\s0
+.PP
+The derivation function is disabled during initialization by calling the
+\&\fBRAND_DRBG_set()\fR function with the \s-1RAND_DRBG_FLAG_CTR_NO_DF\s0 flag.
+For more information on the derivation function and when it can be omitted,
+see [\s-1NIST SP 800\-90A\s0 Rev. 1]. Roughly speaking it can be omitted if the random
+source has \*(L"full entropy\*(R", i.e., contains 8 bits of entropy per byte.
+.PP
+Even if a nonce is required, the \fBget_nonce\fR() and \fBcleanup_nonce\fR()
+callbacks can be omitted by setting them to \s-1NULL.\s0
+In this case the \s-1DRBG\s0 will automatically request an extra amount of entropy
+(using the \fBget_entropy\fR() and \fBcleanup_entropy\fR() callbacks) which it will
+utilize for the nonce, following the recommendations of [\s-1NIST SP 800\-90A\s0 Rev. 1],
+section 8.6.7.
