uint64_t ndn::random::generateSecureWord64

(

)

Generate a cryptographically secure random integer from the range [0, 2^64)

Exceptions

uint32_t ndn::random::generateWord32

(

)

Generate a cryptographically non-secure random integer from the range [0, 2^32)

This method uses Boost.Random routines

This version is faster than generateSecureWord32, but it should not be used when cryptographically secure random integers are needed (e.g., when creating signing or encryption keys)
