Struct rdrand::RdRand

pub struct RdRand(_);

A cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator.

This generator is a viable replacement to any std::rand generator, however, since nobody has audited Intel hardware yet, the usual disclaimers apply.

It is much faster than OsRng (and slower than StdRng), but is only supported on more recent (since Ivy Bridge) Intel processors.

Methods

impl RdRand

fn new() -> Result<RdRand, Error>

Build a generator object. The function will only succeed if rdrand instruction can be successfully used.

fn next_u16(&self) -> u16

Generate a u16 value.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for RdRand

fn clone(&self) -> RdRand

Returns a copy of the value.

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

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Rng for RdRand

fn next_u32(&mut self) -> u32

Return the next random u32.

fn next_u64(&mut self) -> u64

Return the next random u64.

fn next_f32(&mut self) -> f32

Return the next random f32 selected from the half-open interval [0, 1).

fn next_f64(&mut self) -> f64

Return the next random f64 selected from the half-open interval [0, 1).

fn fill_bytes(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8])

Fill dest with random data.

fn gen<T>(&mut self) -> T where T: Rand

Return a random value of a Rand type.

fn gen_iter<T>(&'a mut self) -> Generator<'a, T, Self> where T: Rand

Return an iterator that will yield an infinite number of randomly generated items.

fn gen_range<T>(&mut self, low: T, high: T) -> T where T: SampleRange + PartialOrd<T>

Generate a random value in the range [low, high).

fn gen_weighted_bool(&mut self, n: u32) -> bool

Return a bool with a 1 in n chance of true

fn gen_ascii_chars(&'a mut self) -> AsciiGenerator<'a, Self>

Return an iterator of random characters from the set A-Z,a-z,0-9.

fn choose<T>(&mut self, values: &'a [T]) -> Option<&'a T>

Return a random element from values.

fn shuffle<T>(&mut self, values: &mut [T])

Shuffle a mutable slice in place.
