Trait Generator

pub trait Generator: 'static + Send {
    // Required methods
    fn public_random_fill(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8]);
    fn private_random_fill(&mut self, dest: &mut [u8]);
}

A generator of random data. The two methods provide the same functionality for different use cases. One for “public” randomly generated data that may appear in the clear, and one for “private” data that should remain secret. This approach lessens the risk of potential predictability weaknesses in random number generation algorithms from leaking information across contexts.

Required Methods

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

Fills dest with unpredictable bits that may be sent over the wire and viewable in the clear.

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

Fills dest with unpredictable bits that will only be used internally within the endpoint, remaining secret.
