You asked about OpenSC/libp11, C_GenerateRandom is the most "close to core" API call in this case, bypassing libp11. If you want to use tools (command line tools) you can try: $ echo random 6 | opensc-explorer > We were contacted by a free software project and they need a random > number generator.

The Unix way is: cat /dev/*random > The guys may be able to contribute such a tool. > Would you accept such an option in pkcs15-tool? No, this is not PKCS#15 related. Having the option to get random bytes from PCKS#11 modules would be useful though, so pkcs11-tool (or opensc-tool if you insist OpenSC API) could be considered.
