--- Comment #1 from Kubilay Kocak <[email protected]> ---
This sounds like a request to improve the algorithm, not necessarily achieving
'cryptographically secure', given these details from man rand(3):

     rand, srand, sranddev, rand_r – bad random number generator

     <snip>

     The functions described in this manual page are not cryptographically
     secure.  Cryptographic applications should use arc4random(3) instead.

     These interfaces are obsoleted by random(3).

     <snip>

     For better generator quality, use random(3) or lrand48(3).
