# Random Nonce Generator
|
|
|
|
Generates a random number of bytes using the operating system's source of entropy.
|
|
|
|
Source: Python `os` module
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
This node provides a simple way to generate cryptographically secure random bytes, which are essential for many cryptographic operations like creating nonces, salts, or initialization vectors (IVs). It uses `os.urandom()`, which is suitable for cryptographic use.
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
- **byte_num**: The number of random bytes to generate.
|
|
|
|
## Outputs
|
|
|
|
- **rand_value**: The generated random bytes, as a `BYTESLIKE` object.
