Could you elaborate on which specific package in the cryptocurrency and finance domain implements a cryptographically secure random number generator? Understanding the importance of secure randomness in cryptographic protocols, I'm curious to know which package or library offers this functionality in a reliable and widely accepted manner. Is it a standard library that's widely used in the industry or a specialized package designed for this specific purpose? Knowing this information would help ensure the integrity and security of my financial applications and cryptographic implementations.

On various Unix-like operating systems such as Linux, FreeBSD, Dragonfly, NetBSD, and Solaris, the Reader utilizes the "getrandom" system call if available. This call provides a non-blocking and cryptographically secure random number generator.
