This implementation ensures that the PRNG state is unique for each thread.
If an B<ENGINE> is loaded that provides the RAND API, however, it will
-be used instead of the method returned by RAND_OpenSSL().
+be used instead of the method returned by RAND_OpenSSL(). This is deprecated
+in OpenSSL 3.0.
RAND_set_rand_method() makes B<meth> the method for PRNG use. If an
ENGINE was providing the method, it will be released first.
