| 9 | //! Random number generators and adapters |
| 10 | //! |
| 11 | //! ## Generators |
| 12 | //! |
| 13 | //! This crate provides a small selection of generators. |
| 14 | //! See also [Types of generators] and [Our RNGs] in the book. |
| 15 | //! |
| 16 | //! ##### Non-deterministic generators |
| 17 | //! |
| 18 | //! - [`SysRng`] is a stateless interface over the operating system's random number |
| 19 | //! source. This is typically secure with some form of periodic re-seeding. |
| 20 | //! - [`ThreadRng`], provided by [`crate::rng()`], is a handle to a |
| 21 | //! thread-local generator with periodic seeding from [`SysRng`]. Because this |
| 22 | //! is local, it is typically much faster than [`SysRng`]. It should be |
| 23 | //! secure, but see documentation on [`ThreadRng`]. |
| 24 | //! |
| 25 | //! ##### Standard generators |
| 26 | //! |
| 27 | //! These use selected best-in-class algorithms. They are deterministic but not |
| 28 | //! portable: the algorithms may be changed in any release and may be |
| 29 | //! platform-dependent. |
| 30 | //! |
| 31 | //! - [`StdRng`] is a CSPRNG chosen for good performance and trust of security |
| 32 | //! (based on reviews, maturity and usage). The current algorithm is |
| 33 | //! [`ChaCha12Rng`], which is well established and rigorously analysed. |
| 34 | //! [`StdRng`] is the deterministic generator used by [`ThreadRng`] but |
| 35 | //! without the periodic reseeding or thread-local management. |
| 36 | //! - [`SmallRng`] is a relatively simple, insecure generator designed to be |
| 37 | //! fast, use little memory, and pass various statistical tests of |
| 38 | //! randomness quality. The current algorithm is one of the Xoshiro |
| 39 | //! generators below, depending on the target's pointer size. |
| 40 | //! |
| 41 | //! ##### Named portable generators |
| 42 | //! |
| 43 | //! These are similar to the [standard generators](#standard-generators), but |
| 44 | //! with the additional [guarantees of reproducibility]: |
| 45 | //! |
| 46 | //! - [`Xoshiro256PlusPlus`] is a very fast 64-bit insecure generator using |
| 47 | //! 256 bits of state with good performance in statistical tests of quality |
| 48 | //! - [`Xoshiro128PlusPlus`] is a very fast 32-bit insecure generator using |
| 49 | //! 128 bits of state with good performance in statistical tests of quality |
| 50 | //! - [`ChaCha8Rng`], [`ChaCha12Rng`] and [`ChaCha20Rng`] are generators over |
| 51 | //! the ChaCha stream cipher designed by Daniel J. Bernstein[^1]. |
| 52 | //! |
| 53 | //! ### Additional generators |
| 54 | //! |
| 55 | //! - The [`rdrand`] crate provides an interface to the RDRAND and RDSEED |
| 56 | //! instructions available in modern Intel and AMD CPUs. |
| 57 | //! - The [`rand_jitter`] crate provides a user-space implementation of |
| 58 | //! entropy harvesting from CPU timer jitter, but is very slow and has |
| 59 | //! [security issues](https://github.com/rust-random/rand/issues/699). |
| 60 | //! - The [`rand_pcg`] crate provides portable implementations of a subset |
| 61 | //! of the [PCG] family of small, insecure generators |
| 62 | //! - The [`rand_xoshiro`] crate provides portable implementations of the |
| 63 | //! [xoshiro] family of small, insecure generators |
| 64 | //! |
| 65 | //! For more, search [crates with the `rng` tag]. |
| 66 | //! |
| 67 | //! ## Traits and functionality |
| 68 | //! |
| 69 | //! All generators implement [`TryRng`]. Most implement [`Rng`] (i.e. |
| 70 | //! `TryRng<Error = Infallible>`) and thus also implement [`RngExt`]. |
| 71 | //! See also the [Random Values] chapter in the book. |
| 72 | //! |
| 73 | //! Secure RNGs may additionally implement the [`CryptoRng`] trait. |
| 74 | //! |
| 75 | //! Use the [`rand_core`] crate when implementing your own RNGs. |
