Properties

	Name	Description
	Boolean	Generates a cryptographically strong random boolean (i.e., a coin toss).
	Byte	Generates a cryptographically strong 8-bit random integer.
	Decimal	Generates a semi cryptographically strong random decimal between zero and one. i.e. [0-1)
	Int16	Generates a cryptographically strong 16-bit random integer.
	Int24	Generates a cryptographically strong 24-bit random integer.
	Int32	Generates a cryptographically strong 32-bit random integer.
	Int64	Generates a cryptographically strong 64-bit random integer.
	Number	Generates a semi cryptographically strong double-precision floating-point random number between zero and one. i.e. [0-1)
	UInt16	Generates a cryptographically strong unsigned 16-bit random integer.
	UInt24	Generates a cryptographically strong unsigned 24-bit random integer.
	UInt32	Generates a cryptographically strong unsigned 32-bit random integer.
	UInt64	Generates a cryptographically strong unsigned 64-bit random integer.
