pw::random::RandomGenerator Class Referenceabstract
pw_random

Overview

A random generator uses injected entropy to generate random values. Many of the guarantees for this interface are provided at the level of the implementations. In general:

  • DO assume a generator will always succeed.
  • DO NOT assume a generator is cryptographically secure.
  • DO NOT assume uniformity of generated data.
