Could you please elaborate on the concept of a "crypto/Rand" package in the Go programming language? I'm curious to understand its purpose and functionality within the cryptographic ecosystem of Go. Specifically, what kind of cryptographic randomness does it provide? How is it typically used in secure applications? Is it a standard library package or a third-party dependency? Furthermore, could you provide an example or two of how a developer might utilize this package in their code to ensure robust cryptographic randomness?
