Hi,

Do you know any cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) for D?

I know that we have std.random, but it is NOT cryptographically secure.

Thanks.

You may be interested in https://github.com/D-Programming-Deimos/openssl - D bindings for openssl.

I agree. I'd call a C one from D that is accepted by the crypto community as secure, rather than invent an insecure one.

How can I get access to the /dev/random or /dev/urandom (Linux only)? Like a file via std.file, or D have spesial function?

I don't know of any special function to access them.

Access using the usual file I/O functions.
