# rand-bytes

A simple tool to generate cryptographically secure random bytes using a cryptographic pseudo-random number
generator.

Internally, `rand-bytes` uses [`ring`'s random number generator](https://briansmith.org/rustdoc/ring/rand/index.html).

## Usage

Install this with cargo:

```sh
cargo install rand-bytes
```

Or download one of the [releases](https://github.com/lawliet89/rand-bytes/releases).

If your architecture/OS is not supported, you can simply build it yourself.
