Expand description
RNG based on AES in CTR mode.
This implementation is based on the implementation given in the
scuttlebutt
crate. Instead of using an own AES implementation, AesRng uses
the aes crate.
On platforms wwith hardware accelerated AES instructions, the AesRng can
generate multiple GiB of random data per second. Make sure to compile with
the aes target feature enabled to have optimal performance without runtime
detection of the feature.
