    Best cryptographicaly-secure RNGs?

    In writing software that requires CSPRNGs, what is the prefered method (for you) in generating them (non-standard library as well as standard library)?

    I prefer things with very high entropy levels.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
