fastrand | Uses securely allocated memory | Cryptography library

fastrand is a Go library typically used in Security, Cryptography applications. fastrand has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

fastrand implements a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator. The generator is seeded using the system's default entropy source, and thereafter produces random values via repeated hashing. As a result, fastrand can generate randomness much faster than crypto/rand, and generation cannot fail beyond a potential panic during init(). fastrand was forked from gitlab.com/NebulousLabs/fastrand. This version of the package uses securely allocated memory provided by github.com/awnumar/memguard. fastrand also scales better than crypto/rand and math/rand when called in parallel. In fact, fastrand can even outperform math/rand when using enough threads. Alternatively, use frand by Luke Champine if you are primarily concerned with speed or if memory security is not part of your threat model. frand is substantially faster than this package.
