abstract ;;Quote: software generation of secure, practically strong random numbers; no specialized hardware or privileged system calls
243 ;;Quote: random number generators may be insecure; e.g. using current time and process ID as the seed
244 ;;Quote: a random number generator should never leak its internal state; e.g., input or output data, system swap file, unreviewed code
