I've used this wrapper around the NaCl crypto library to generate random
numbers:

Hi all,
I'm in a situation where I have to generate cryptographically secure random UUIDs, i.e. ones that cannot feasibly be guessed/predicted.
Does anyone know what options there are in this space?
Ideally, I'd like to fulfill as many of these points as possible:
- Few big/complicated dependencies. - Avoid native C if possible (ditto for non-base dependencies). - Avoid RDRAND if possible. - Non-opaque UUID type. - Cross-platform if possible, but the main platform would be Linux.
(Generating a UUID from a random stream would be trivial, so obviously a library for secure random numbers would be a-okay too.)
Any suggestions?
