I'm trying to create a secure random seed phrase for a crypto wallet, but I'm not sure how to generate one that is both secure and random. Can someone explain the process or provide a method for generating a random seed phrase?

The initial step involves generating random data, which is referred to as entropy. This entropy ensures that the seed phrase is unique and unpredictable.

Once the entropy is generated, it is processed through a hashing function. Specifically, the SHA256 hashing algorithm is used for this purpose.

The SHA256 algorithm generates a checksum based on the input entropy. This checksum serves as a verification tool to ensure the integrity of the data.

A portion of the checksum is then appended to the original random data. This combination forms the basis of the seed phrase.
