Struct StdRng

pub struct StdRng(/* private fields */);

The standard RNG. The PRNG algorithm in StdRng is chosen to be efficient on the current platform, to be statistically strong and unpredictable (meaning a cryptographically secure PRNG).

The current algorithm used is the ChaCha block cipher with 20 rounds. This may change as new evidence of cipher security and performance becomes available.

The algorithm is deterministic but should not be considered reproducible due to dependence on configuration and possible replacement in future library versions. For a secure reproducible generator, we recommend use of the rand_chacha crate directly.

Trait Implementations

fn clone(&self) -> StdRng

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for StdRng

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl RngCore for StdRng

impl SeedableRng for StdRng

type Seed = <ChaCha20Rng as SeedableRng>::Seed

fn seed_from_u64(state: u64) -> Self

Create a new PRNG using a u64 seed.

fn from_entropy() -> Self

Creates a new instance of the RNG seeded via getrandom.
