}Expand description
Trait for a deterministic pseudorandom generator.
The trait PRNG characterizes a stateful object that produces
pseudorandom bytes (and larger values) in a cryptographically secure
way; the object is created with a source seed, and the output is
indistinguishable from uniform randomness up to exhaustive enumeration
of the possible values of the seed.
PRNG instances must also implement Copy and Clone so that they
may be embedded in clonable structures. This implies that copying a
PRNG instance is supposed to clone its internal state, and the copy
will output the same values as the original.

Dyn Compatibility§
This trait is not dyn compatible.
In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety", so this trait is not object safe.
