Struct rand::chacha::ChaChaRng [] [src]

pub struct ChaChaRng { /* fields omitted */ }

A random number generator that uses the ChaCha20 algorithm [1].

The ChaCha algorithm is widely accepted as suitable for cryptographic purposes, but this implementation has not been verified as such. Prefer a generator like OsRng that defers to the operating system for cases that need high security.

Methods

impl ChaChaRng
[src]

Create an ChaCha random number generator using the default fixed key of 8 zero words.

Examples

use rand::{Rng, ChaChaRng};

let mut ra = ChaChaRng::new_unseeded();
println!("{:?}", ra.next_u32());
println!("{:?}", ra.next_u32());

Since this equivalent to a RNG with a fixed seed, repeated executions of an unseeded RNG will produce the same result. This code sample will consistently produce:

  • 2917185654
  • 2419978656

Sets the internal 128-bit ChaCha counter to a user-provided value. This permits jumping arbitrarily ahead (or backwards) in the pseudorandom stream.

Since the nonce words are used to extend the counter to 128 bits, users wishing to obtain the conventional ChaCha pseudorandom stream associated with a particular nonce can call this function with arguments 0, desired_nonce.

Examples

use rand::{Rng, ChaChaRng};

let mut ra = ChaChaRng::new_unseeded();
ra.set_counter(0u64, 1234567890u64);
println!("{:?}", ra.next_u32());
println!("{:?}", ra.next_u32());
