  7. *
  8. * The Random number generator (RNG) module provides random number
  9. * generation, see \c havege_rand(). It uses the HAVEGE (HArdware Volatile
  10. * Entropy Gathering and Expansion) software heuristic which is claimed
  11. * to be an unpredictable or empirically strong* random number generation.
  12. *
  13. * \* Meaning that there seems to be no practical algorithm that can guess
  14. * the next bit with a probability larger than 1/2 in an output sequence.
  15. *
  16. * This module can be used to generate random numbers.
