Crypto.randomness

# Module Crypto.randomness

Description

  Assorted stronger or weaker randomnumber generators. These devices try to collect entropy from the environment. They differ in behaviour when they run low on entropy, /dev/random will block if it can't provide enough random bits, while /dev/urandom will degenerate into a reasonably strong pseudo random generator
