Struct ring::rand::SystemRandom

source ·
pub struct SystemRandom(/* private fields */);
Expand description

A secure random number generator where the random values come directly from the operating system.

“Directly from the operating system” here presently means “whatever the getrandom crate does” but that may change in the future. That roughly means calling libc’s getrandom function or whatever is analogous to that; see the getrandom crate’s documentation for more info.

A single SystemRandom may be shared across multiple threads safely.

new() is guaranteed to always succeed and to have low latency; it won’t try to open or read from a file or do similar things. The first call to fill() may block a substantial amount of time since any and all initialization is deferred to it. Therefore, it may be a good idea to call fill() once at a non-latency-sensitive time to minimize latency for future calls.
