It is intended to be portable at least between Unix-family platforms and Windows.

Functions ¶
func InsecureSeed ¶
func InsecureSeed() (result [2]uint64)
InsecureSeed represents the imported function "insecure-seed".
Return a 128-bit value that may contain a pseudo-random value.
The returned value is not required to be computed from a CSPRNG, and may even be entirely deterministic. Host implementations are encouraged to provide pseudo-random values to any program exposed to attacker-controlled content, to enable DoS protection built into many languages' hash-map implementations.
This function is intended to only be called once, by a source language to initialize Denial Of Service (DoS) protection in its hash-map implementation.
Expected future evolution ¶
This will likely be changed to a value import, to prevent it from being called multiple times and potentially used for purposes other than DoS protection.
insecure-seed: func() -> tuple<u64, u64>
