CryptGenRandom is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator function that is included in Microsoft CryptoAPI. In Win32 programs, Microsoft recommended its use anywhere random number generation is needed (it has since been replaced by BCryptGenRandom, see below). The kernel32 equivalent is RtlGenRandom.
The analysis highlights Method of operation, Security and Alternatives as prominent areas in the source structure around CryptGenRandom.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.
