Random number generation ======================== When generating random data for use in cryptographic operations, such as an initialization vector for encryption in :class:`~cryptography.hazmat.primitives.ciphers.modes.CBC` mode, you do not want to use the standard :mod:`random` module APIs. This is because they do not provide a cryptographically secure random number generator, which can result in major security issues depending on the algorithms in use. Therefore, it is our recommendation to `always use your operating system's provided random number generator`_, which is available as :func:`os.urandom`. For example, if you need 16 bytes of random data for an initialization vector, you can obtain them with: .. doctest:: >>> import os >>> iv = os.urandom(16) This will use ``/dev/urandom`` on UNIX platforms, and ``CryptGenRandom`` on Windows. .. _`always use your operating system's provided random number generator`: http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2014/02/25/safely-generate-random-numbers/ lass='sub'>[no description]
