     Return count random bytes in *bytes, allocated by the caller. It

     @param rnd
     Only @p kSecRandomDefault is supported.

     @param count
     The number of bytes to generate.

     @param bytes
     A buffer to fill with random output.

     @result Return 0 on success, any other value on failure.

     @discussion
     If @p rnd is unrecognized or unsupported, @p kSecRandomDefault is
     used.
