/** * @file * Random number generator (RNG) module documentation file. */ /** * @addtogroup rng_module Random number generator (RNG) module * * The Random number generator (RNG) module provides random number * generation, see \c havege_rand(). It uses the HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile * Entropy Gathering and Expansion) software heuristic which is claimed * to be an unpredictable or empirically strong* random number generation. * * \* Meaning that there seems to be no practical algorithm that can guess * the next bit with a probability larger than 1/2 in an output sequence. * * This module can be used to generate random numbers. */
