C++17 - cryptographically secure random_device

aes_random_device

cryptographically-secure stl-style random_device, a wrapper around aes-stream (Frank Denis) and libsodium (Frank Denis)

prng is default-fully-seeded with std::random_device.

limitations

• requires a modern Intel or AMD CPU with AES-NI support
• aes_random_device() can be called indefinitely without having to reseed the generator

concurrency

• thread-safe, using tls, define SAX_AES_RANDOM_DEVICE_USE_TLS=0 to disable, tls is the default

dependencies

• libsodium
• aes-stream
• C++17 and a corresponding STL-library
