- <p>Rand doesn't have a blanket implementation for all Unix-like operating
- systems that reads from <code>/dev/urandom</code>. This ensures all supported operating
- systems are using the recommended interface and respect maximum buffer
- sizes.</p>
- <h2 id="support-for-webassembly-and-amsjs" class="section-header"><a href="#support-for-webassembly-and-amsjs">Support for WebAssembly and ams.js</a></h2>
- <p>The three Emscripten targets <code>asmjs-unknown-emscripten</code>,
- <code>wasm32-unknown-emscripten</code> and <code>wasm32-experimental-emscripten</code> use
- Emscripten's emulation of <code>/dev/random</code> on web browsers and Node.js.
- Unfortunately it falls back to the insecure <code>Math.random()</code> if a browser
- doesn't support <a href="https://github.com/redox-os/randd/blob/master/src/main.rs"><code>Crypto.getRandomValues</code></a>.</p>
- <p>The bare Wasm target <code>wasm32-unknown-unknown</code> tries to call the javascript
- methods directly, using <code>stdweb</code> in combination with <code>cargo-web</code>.
- <code>wasm-bindgen</code> is not yet supported.</p>
- <h2 id="early-boot" class="section-header"><a href="#early-boot">Early boot</a></h2>
- <p>It is possible that early in the boot process the OS hasn't had enough time
- yet to collect entropy to securely seed its RNG, especially on virtual
- machines.</p>
- <p>Some operating systems always block the thread until the RNG is securely
- seeded. This can take anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute.
- Others make a best effort to use a seed from before the shutdown and don't
- document much.</p>
- <p>A few, Linux, NetBSD and Solaris, offer a choice between blocking, and
- getting an error. With <code>try_fill_bytes</code> we choose to get the error
- (<a href="../enum.ErrorKind.html#variant.NotReady"><code>ErrorKind::NotReady</code></a>), while the other methods use a blocking interface.</p>
- <p>On Linux (when the <code>genrandom</code> system call is not available) and on NetBSD
- reading from <code>/dev/urandom</code> never blocks, even when the OS hasn't collected
- enough entropy yet. As a countermeasure we try to do a single read from
- <code>/dev/random</code> until we know the OS RNG is initialized (and store this in a
- global static).</p>
- <h1 id="panics" class="section-header"><a href="#panics">Panics</a></h1>
- <p><code>OsRng</code> is extremely unlikely to fail if <code>OsRng::new()</code>, and one read from
- it, where succesfull. But in case it does fail, only <a href="../trait.RngCore.html#method.tymethod.try_fill_bytes"><code>try_fill_bytes</code></a> is
- able to report the cause. Depending on the error the other <a href="../trait.RngCore.html"><code>RngCore</code></a>
- methods will retry several times, and panic in case the error remains.</p>
