Detailed Description

Declares the global pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) for NFD.

All random numbers generated by NFD should use this global generator, so that it can be properly seeded when necessary.

Warning

This PRNG is not suitable for security purposes; security-critical code must use a cryptographically secure PRNG, such as that provided by OpenSSL.
