====
Do not write your own code to create a random number or use a "simple" random number generator offered by your programming language. Use a((("cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG)"))) cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) with a seed from a source of sufficient entropy. Study the documentation of the random number generator library you choose to make sure it is cryptographically secure. Correct implementation of the CSPRNG is critical to the security of the keys.
