Utilities for secure random number generation.

Examples

To generate a buffer with cryptographically strong bytes:

use openssl::rand::rand_bytes;

let mut buf = [0; 256];
rand_bytes(&mut buf).unwrap();

Functions

• keep_random_devices_open
  Controls random device file descriptor behavior.
• rand_bytes
  Fill buffer with cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes.
• rand_priv_bytes
  Fill buffer with cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes. It is intended to be used for generating values that should remain private.
