NAME
       Math::Prime::Util::Entropy - Get a good random seed


VERSION
       Version 0.70


SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       Provides a single method to get a good seed if possible.  This is a streamlined version of
       Crypt::Random::Seed, with ideas from Bytes::Random::Secure::Tiny.

   entropy_bytes
       Takes a number of bytes "n" and returns either undef (no good seed available) or a binary
       string with good entropy.

       We try in order:

          - the Win32 Crypto API
          - /dev/urandom
          - /dev/random
          - L<Crypt::Random::Seed>
          - L<Crypt::PRNG>
