Both RAND_bytes() and getrandom() might fail to generate random data. Both use /dev/urandom and might deplete entropy pool. Both are non-blocking. RAND_bytes() creates licensing problem (which might be fixed eventually on some of the supported distributions). Which argument for preferring RAND_bytes() over getrandom() have I missed? > * secret key generation (which we don't implement, so far: ?
