The autocomplete description had the parameters mismatching with the actually needed ones, you may choose to edit the parameter order in the functions actual code if you had wanted it another way, this commit just changes the description to match with the code. |

CCryptoLib
An integrated collection of cryptographic primitives written in Lua using the ComputerCraft system API.
Initializing the Random Number Generator
All functions that take secret input may query the library's random generator,
ccryptolib.random. CC doesn't have high-quality entropy sources, so instead of
hoping for the best like other libraries do, CCryptoLib shifts that burden into
you!
If you trust the tmpim Krist node, you can fetch a socket token and use it for initialization:
local random = require "ccryptolib.random"
-- Fetch a WebSocket token.
local postHandle = assert(http.post("https://krist.dev/ws/start", ""))
local data = textutils.unserializeJSON(postHandle.readAll())
postHandle.close()
-- Initialize the generator using the given URL.
random.init(data.url)
-- Be polite and actually open the socket too.
http.websocket(data.url).close()
Otherwise, you will need to find another high-quality random entropy source to initialize the generator. DO NOT INITIALIZE USING MATH.RANDOM.
