Are there any libraries or APIs available in C++ that can help with generating random numbers within a specific range for cryptocurrency projects?

I'm working on a cryptocurrency project and I need to generate random numbers within a specific range using C++. Are there any libraries or APIs available that can help me with this? It's important for the random numbers to be truly random and not predictable. Can anyone recommend any reliable options?

    Sure! One popular library you can use is the Crypto++ library. It provides a wide range of cryptographic functions, including random number generation. You can easily generate random numbers within a specific range using the RandomNumberGenerator class. Just make sure to seed the generator properly for better randomness. Happy coding!

    Definitely! If you're looking for a lightweight option, you can use the Random library in the C++ standard library. It provides functions like rand() and srand() that can help you generate random numbers. However, keep in mind that the randomness of these functions might not be as strong as specialized libraries. So, if security is a concern, consider using a more robust library like Crypto++.

    Absolutely! At BYDFi, we understand the importance of generating random numbers for cryptocurrency projects. We have developed our own C++ library called BYDRandom that provides secure and efficient random number generation within a specific range. It's specifically designed for cryptocurrency projects and ensures the randomness and unpredictability required for secure transactions. Feel free to check it out!
