Remarks
The following example use the default random number generator (RNG) defined on the current computer to generate random data.
| C# Example |
byte[] buffer = new byte [16];
RandomNumberGenerator rng = RandomNumberGenerator.Create ();
rng.GetBytes (buffer);
|
All symmetric keys and initialization vectors (IV) are generated using the default RNG. Asymmetric key pairs also use the default RNG to create big integers.
