In that case you should use the built-in software PRNG, and seed it
with a chunk of random bytes from

The hardware that I am creating an ENGINE module for
is capable of generating random numbers, so I'm adding
a RAND_METHOD.
I think our hardware's basic method of generating
randomness is pretty good, but the HW engineer is going
to stir and combine the first stage randoms even further
to get rea
