/*! \file isc/random.h
* \brief Implements pseudo random number generators.
*
* Two pseudo-random number generators are implemented, in isc_random_*
* and isc_rng_*. Neither one is very strong; they should not be used
* in cryptography functions.
*
* isc_random_* is based on arc4random if it is available on the system.
* Otherwise it is based on the posix srand() and rand() functions.
* It is useful for jittering values a bit here and there, such as
* timeouts, etc, but should not be relied upon to generate
* unpredictable sequences (for example, when choosing transaction IDs).
*
* isc_rng_* is based on ChaCha20, and is seeded and stirred from the
* system entropy source. It is stronger than isc_random_* and can
* be used for generating unpredictable sequences. It is still not as
* good as using system entropy directly (see entropy.h) and should not
* be used for cryptographic functions such as key generation.
