BaseCryptLib provides RandSeed/RandBytes interface which wrap openssl rand
functionalities. These interfaces are used by following components in edk2

  - CryptoPkg\Library\TlsLib\TlsInit.c
  - SecurityPkg\HddPassword\HddPasswordDxe.c

Openssl components, like asn1, bn, evp, ocsp, pem, pkcs7, pkcs12, rsa, ssl (in addition
to cms, dsa, srp, which are disabled in edk2) will call rand_* interface as well.

Jian
