Why do we use the crypto/Rand package to seed the default source?
Could you elaborate on the rationale behind utilizing the crypto/Rand package for seeding the default source? It seems an intriguing choice given the wide array of available options for randomness generation. Are there specific security benefits or performance gains that this package offers? Additionally, how does it compare to other commonly used methods for seeding, such as the math/rand package or the use of system-specific entropy sources? Understanding the motivation behind this decision would be quite insightful for developers looking to implement secure cryptographic algorithms.
