algorithm Property
The random number algorithm.
Syntax
def get_algorithm() -> int: ... def set_algorithm(value: int) -> None: ...
algorithm = property(get_algorithm, set_algorithm)
Default Value
0
Remarks
This property specifies the algorithm used to generate the random number or bytes. Possible values are:
| 0 (raISAAC) | ISAAC (indirection, shift, accumulate, add, and count) |
| 1 (raMSCryptoAPI) | The Microsoft Crypto API. This is only available on Windows. |
| 2 (raPlatform) | The platform's random implementation. |
| 3 (raSecurePlatform) | The platform's secure random implementation. This is only applicable in .NET and Java. In .NET the class uses the "RNGCryptoServiceProvider" class. In Java the class uses the "SecureRandom" class. |
| 4 (raRC4Random) | RC4 based random implementation. |
