+ * The kind of random denotes the statistical quality of the random data
+ * returned. Basic random simply appears uniformly distributed, Cryptographic
+ * random is statistically random and suitable for use by cryptographic
+ * functions. True random is generated from a hardware entropy source rather
+ * than an algorithm and is thus completely unpredictable. These form a
+ * hierarchy where higher quality data is presumably more costly to generate
+ * than lower quality data.
