librandombytes1 binary package in Ubuntu Noble armhf
librandombytes is a public-domain library providing a simple API for
applications generating fresh randomness: include <randombytes.h>,
call randombytes(x, xbytes) whenever desired to generate fresh random bytes
x[0], x[1], ..., x[xbytes-1], and link with -lrandombytes.
.
Random bytes are often used directly in applications. Random bytes are also
the foundation of more complicated random objects, such as random integers
in a limited interval, random floating-point numbers from a (nearly) normal
distribution, and random keys used in public-key cryptosystems. librandombytes
is dedicated to obtaining fresh random bytes in the first place, and leaves
it to higher-level libraries to convert those bytes into other types of random
objects.
.
librandombytes aims for the following stringent randomness goal: no feasible
computation will ever be able to tell the difference between the output bytes
and true randomness (independent uniformly distributed random bytes). This
makes the randombytes() output suitable for use in applications ranging from
simulations to cryptography.
.
Shared library.
