The security of modern encryption depends almost entirely on the ability to generate secure randomness within your cryptosystem. Many random number generators, such as the :code:`rand()` function in the toolchain, only *appear* random but are actually **deterministic**--a single output maps to a single computable output. This may suffice for your Solitare app's card stack but not for generating an encryption key. Generators intended for use with cryptography need to operate within additional constraints centered around unpredictability.

Because the API of this library tends to work on raw data (rather than on key structures like other libraries do), this module provides a way to deserialize PKCS#8 keyfiles such that you can access components of the key.
