# CryptoRand.cpp - Random Key Generation using Cryptographic Techniques
The CryptoRand.cpp module provides a secure method for generating random keys using cryptographic techniques and user interactions.
## Description
This module utilizes cryptographic algorithms along with user interactions (mouse movements) to generate random keys. It employs Xorshift random number generators for additional randomness.
## Features
* Generates random keys securely.
* Utilizes cryptographic algorithms for randomness.
* Incorporates user interactions (mouse movements) for added entropy.
## Installation
To use this package, you can clone the repository and compile it using a C++ compiler:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/NIR3X/CryptoRand.cpp
cd CryptoRand.cpp
make
```
## Usage
1. Include the necessary header file: `CryptoRand.h`.
2. Call the `CCryptoRand::Read()` function to generate a random key.
3. Provide a callback function to track the progress of key generation.
4. Ensure the generated key is used securely in your application.
Example usage:
```cpp
#include "CryptoRand.h"
#include
#include
int main() {
uint8_t key[256];
CCryptoRand::Read(key, sizeof(key), [] (float progress) {
printf("\rMove the mouse around to generate a random key: %.2f%%", progress * 100.f);
});
printf("\rKey: ");
for (uint8_t byte : key) {
printf("%d ", byte);
}
printf("\n");
}
```
