Generating Secure Random Numbers

Generating Secure Random Numbers

Let’s learn about secure random number generation in Go.

We'll cover the following...

If we intend to use these pseudorandom numbers for security-related work, it is important that we use the crypto/rand package, which implements a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator. We do not need to define a seed when using the crypto/rand package.

Coding example

The following function, which is part of the cryptoRand.go source code, showcases how secure random numbers are generated with the functionality of crypto/rand.
