jitterbug

A true random number generator based on CPU jitter written in rust.

It allows true random number generation without seeding.

Getting Started

1. Add the latest version of jitterbug to your Cargo.toml file
2. Use Jitterbug::new() to create a new jitterbug

Examples

Getting a true random number

You can get a true random number by creating a new Jitterbug, then using the RngCore impl of Jitterbug:

use jitterbug::Jitterbug;
use rand_core::Rng;

fn main() {
    // create a new jitterbug, and unwrap for direct
    // `Infallable` `Result`
    let mut jitter_rng = Jitterbug::new();

    // generate a new `u64` number
    let random_number = jitter_rng.next_u64();
    println!("random number: {random_number}");
}
