5 /// \brief Class file for Randomness Pool
6 /// \details RandomPool can be used to generate cryptographic quality pseudorandom bytes
7 /// after seeding the pool with IncorporateEntropy(). Internally, the generator uses
8 /// AES-256 to produce the stream. Entropy is stirred in using SHA-256.
9 /// \details RandomPool used to follow the design of randpool in PGP 2.6.x. At version 5.5
10 /// RandomPool was redesigned to reduce the risk of reusing random numbers after state
11 /// rollback (which may occur when running in a virtual machine like VMware or a hosted
12 /// environment).
13 /// \details If you need the pre-Crypto++ 5.5 generator then use OldRandomPool class. You
14 /// should migrate away from OldRandomPool at the earliest opportunity. Use RandomPool
15 /// or AutoSeededRandomPool instead.
