A cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG)
Generates random numbers derived from entropy obtained from another
source, usually a hardware random number generator or if unavailable,
from a combination variety of unpredictable system variables, added
to an entropy pool which is used for seeding. This might include
keypresses generated by a user, hardware interrupts, etc.
