/**
* @defgroup sys_random_shaxprng SHAX random number generator
* @ingroup sys_random
*
* @brief SHA based random number generator implementation(CSPRNG).
*
* The generator bases on an internal structure that has been presented in
* FIPS 186-1 Appendix 3.2, which is why it is sometimes named as "DSA PRNG" or
* "FIPS PRNG" in the literature. Outputs are generated by hashing the internal
* generator state, and the feedback path applies a linear transformation to the
* state which is hashed again to create further next outputs. Thus, a potential
* state compromise may allow recovering preceding generator outputs, because
* linear operations in the feedback path are invertible. Thereby, this generator
* gets along with a single hash computation per block which makes the generator
* lightweight in comparison to more advanced CSPRNGs.
*
* This implementation can be run with the SHA-1 or SHA-256 hash function
* for creating outputs. SHA-1 has been deprecated by NIST in 2011 due to
* a collision- and potential brute-force attack. Thus, SHA-256 can be used as
* an alternative. To select one or the other, export
* `USEMODULE += prng_sha1prng` or
* `USEMODULE += prng_sha256prng`
* during compilation.
