7.11.3 Random number generation
Access to the random number generator is provided using the gnutls_rnd function. It allows obtaining random data of various levels.
GNUTLS_RND_NONCENon-predictable random number. Fatal in parts of session if broken, i.e., vulnerable to statistical analysis.
GNUTLS_RND_RANDOMPseudo-random cryptographic random number. Fatal in session if broken.
GNUTLS_RND_KEYFatal in many sessions if broken.
