What's wrong with the System.Random.StdGen implementation of RandomGen?[1] (I'm not sure if it's cryptographically safe)
It's a poor PRNG. And no, it's not anywhere near suitable for cryptographic applications.
Someone (Cale IIRC) has already implemented a Rand monad[2] which is like a state monad but it keeps a RandomGen instead.
