Functions

func New

func New() *rand.Rand

New creates a new "cryptograpically secure" math/rand.Rand.

func NewDRBG

func NewDRBG(seed []byte) *rand.Rand

NewDRBG creates a new Deterministic Random Bit Generator initialized with the provided seed and backed by SHAKE-128 that exposes a math/rand.Rand interface. As the output is entirely deterministic, this should NOT be used to generate cryptographic keying material.
