Hello,
Is Enigma supporting Random Number Generation? If so, how?
I did not manage to find documentation or example on it but the ReadTheDodcs ([https://enigma.co/protocol/AboutThisRelease.html](https://enigma.co/protocol/AboutThisRelease.html)) says:
**Single Preprocessors:**
We future releases will include a number of special functions (preprocessors) which extend the smart contract language to include features exclusive to the Enigma network. This version includes a single one: a random number generator.
Thank you,
Michael

Hey Michael,
SGX can be used for source of randomness - there’s an RNG function. @adi can you pls elaborate?
Cheers

Thank you for the answer.
SGX can provide a function to get a random number ([https://software.intel.com/en-us/sgx-sdk-dev-reference-random-number-generation-functions](https://software.intel.com/en-us/sgx-sdk-dev-reference-random-number-generation-functions)).
How to access a native SGX function from Enigma?
Thank you
