perl-math-random-secure
Cryptographically secure replacement for rand()
This module is intended to provide a cryptographically-secure replacement for Perl's built-in rand
function. "Crytographically secure", in this case, means:
No matter how many numbers you see generated by the random number generator, you cannot guess the future numbers, and you cannot guess the seed.
There are so many possible seeds that it would take decades, centuries, or millennia for an attacker to try them all.
The seed comes from a source that generates relatively strong random data on your platform, so the seed itself will be as random as possible.
