    <note>
      <p>The actual supported algorithms and features depends on their availability in the actual libcrypto used.
      See the <seealso marker="crypto:crypto_app">crypto (App)</seealso> about dependencies.
      </p>
      <p>Enabling FIPS mode will also disable algorithms and features.

	<p>
	  If <c>Alg</c> is <c>crypto</c> this function behaves exactly like

	</p>
	<p>
	  If <c>Alg</c> is <c>crypto_cache</c> this function
	  fetches random data with OpenSSL's <c>RAND_bytes</c>
	  and caches it for speed using an internal word size
	  of 56 bits that makes calculations fast on 64 bit machines.
	</p>
	<p>
	  When using the state object from this function the 
	  <seealso marker="stdlib:rand">rand</seealso> functions using it
	  may raise exception <c>error:low_entropy</c> in case the random generator
	  failed due to lack of secure "randomness".

	    The state returned from this function can not be used
	    to get a reproducable random sequence as from
	    the other 
	    <seealso marker="stdlib:rand">rand</seealso>
	    functions,
	    since reproducability does not match cryptographically safe.
	  </p>
	  <p>
	    In fact since random data is cached some numbers may
	    get reproduced if you try, but this is unpredictable.
	  </p>
	  <p>
	    The only supported usage is to generate one distinct
