[user feedback]

I need a cryptographic random number generator, but the crypto package doesn't contain one =/ I know about the one in dart:html, but I need one for my console application.

As you support SSL in dart:io, the code should already be there, but no way to use it from Dart.

We do have crypto random API internally in dart:io, but it is currently not exposed. At one point there was a discussion on having this in dart:crypto library, but due to it not being available in all browsers it was not done.

We need to figure out if this should be in a dart:crypto library or just in dart:io now that it aparently is in dart:html.

Anders suggested putting this dart:math as we have the pseudo random generator there.

It won't work on all browsers [0], but otherwise this sgtm.
