[http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=arc4random&apropos=0&sektion=3&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html arc4random()] appeared in [[OpenBSD]] 2.1 and has spread to many [[BSD]] systems. This function runs an ARC4 random number generator that takes entropy from a kernel device. (This kernel device is sysctl kern.arandom in OpenBSD, or /dev/urandom in some other systems.)

OpenSSL can generate random numbers. The default generator uses SHA1. For [[Unix]] systems, OpenSSL will gather entropy by reading a kernel device like /dev/urandom, or by using [http://egd.sourceforge.net/ EGD, the Entropy Gathering Daemon]. For other systems, OpenSSL might use a different source of entropy.
