Rng Methods

The Rng type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	Bytes(Int32)	Generate an array of random bytes.
	Bytes(Int32, Byte)	Generate an array of random bytes with user-supplied entropy.
	Bytes(Int32, String)	Generate an array of random bytes with user-supplied entropy.
	BytesWithPrompt(Int32, RngStrength)	Generate an array of random bytes with a prompt for random keyboard input.
	BytesWithPrompt(Int32, String, RngStrength)	Generate an array of random bytes with a prompt for random keyboard input.
	Guid	Generate a random 36-character Global Unique IDentifier (GUID) string according to [RFC4122].
	Initialize	Initialize the RNG generator with a seed file.
	InitializeEx	Query and initialize the RNG generator using Intel(R) DRNG, if available.
	MakeSeedFile	Create a new seed file suitable for use with Rng.Initialize.
	Number	Generate a random number (integer) in a given range.
	Octet	Generate a single random octet (byte).
	Test	Carry out a NIST SP800-90 health check and FIPS140-2 statistical tests on the random number generator.
	TestDrbgvs	Test the RNG for conformance to NIST SP800-90A using the relevant test specified in DRBGVS.
	UpdateSeedFile	Update the RNG seed file.
