Public Class Rng

The Rng type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	BytesWithPrompt(Int32, RngStrength)	Generates an array of random bytes with a prompt for keyboard input
	BytesWithPrompt(Int32, String, RngStrength)	Generates an array of random bytes with a prompt for keyboard input
	HexWithPrompt(Int32)	Generates random bytes in hex format with a prompt for keyboard input
	HexWithPrompt(Int32, String, RngStrength)	Generates random bytes in hex format with a prompt for keyboard input
	Initialize	Initialize the RNG generator with a seed file.
	InitializeEx	Query and initialize the RNG generator using Intel(R) DRNG, if available.
	KeyBytes(Int32, Byte)	Generates a random key with user-supplied entropy
	KeyBytes(Int32, String)	Generates a random key
	KeyHex(Int32, Byte)	Generates a random key in hex format with user-supplied entropy
	KeyHex(Int32, String)	Generates a random key in hex format
	MakeSeedFile(String, RngStrength)	Create a new seed file suitable for use with Rng.Initialize
	MakeSeedFile(String, String, RngStrength)	Create a new seed file suitable for use with Rng.Initialize
	NonceBytes	Generates a random nonce
	NonceHex	Generates a random nonce in hex format
	Number	Generates a random integer in a given range
	Octet	Generates a single random octet (byte)
	Test	Carries out a NIST SP800-90 health check and FIPS140-2 statistical tests on the random number generator
	TestDrbgvs	Tests the random number generator for conformance to NIST SP 800-90A using the relevant test specified in the Deterministic Random Bit Generator Validation System (DRBGVS).
	UpdateSeedFile	Updates the RNG seed file
