RDRAND is an instruction available in Intel and AMD processors that provides a hardware-based random number generator (RNG). It was introduced by Intel in its fourth-generation Core processors (also known as "Haswell") and is part of the x86 instruction set architecture. RDRAND generates random numbers using a digital circuit that is designed to produce high-quality randomness based on physical phenomena.
