+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+A \fB\s-1RAND_METHOD\s0\fR specifies the functions that OpenSSL uses for random
+number generation. By modifying the method, alternative
+implementations such as hardware RNGs may be used. Initially, the
+default is to use the OpenSSL internal implementation. \fIRAND_SSLeay()\fR
+returns a pointer to that method.
+.PP
+\&\fIRAND_set_rand_method()\fR sets the \s-1RAND\s0 method to \fBmeth\fR.
+\&\fIRAND_get_rand_method()\fR returns a pointer to the current method.
