+ prompt "DNS Query ID generation"
+ default UCLIBC_DNSRAND_MODE_PRNGPLUS
+ help
+ Control how successive dns query ids' are generated during
+ dns lookup.
+
+config UCLIBC_DNSRAND_MODE_URANDOM
+ bool "urandom"
+ help
+ "urandom" uses /dev/urandom available under many unix flavours
+ to generate dns query id. This can generate good random ids,
+ by dipping into the entropy pool maintained by the system.
+ However this is relatively slow compared to the other options,
+ as it may involve cryptographic operations internally and
+ kernel-userspace handshake.
+
+config UCLIBC_DNSRAND_MODE_CLOCK
+ bool "clock"
+ depends on UCLIBC_HAS_REALTIME
+ help
+ "clock" uses CLOCK_REALTIME of the system to generate plausibly
+ random dns query id. Systems require to have clock source with
+ nanosec granularity mapped to this clock id for this to generate
+ plausibly random values. However has processor and io performances
+ improve in future, its effectiveness can get impacted.
+
+config UCLIBC_DNSRAND_MODE_PRNGPLUS
+ bool "prngplus"
+ help
+ "prngplus" uses random prng available within uclibc, to indirectly
+ generate the dns query id. This tries to provide a good balance
+ between speed and randomness to an extent. It periodically reseeds
+ the prng using random value generated from either the urandom or
+ else the clock, if either of them is available. Additionally applies
+ transform (one way, if possible) on internal generated random values.
+ These make it difficult to infer internal state of prng from unbroken
+ sequences of exposed random values.
+ This is the default.
+
+config UCLIBC_DNSRAND_MODE_SIMPLECOUNTER
+ bool "simplecounter"
+ help
+ "simplecounter" uses a simple counter to generate dns query id.
+ This is a very simple logic and can be subjected to dns poison
+ attack relatively easily.
+ It is recommended to avoid this option.
