Description
We currently use Python `random` host-side and an implementation of the same Mersenne twister on device side.
- There is a danger of the Python class changing.
- This is not precisely in line with the definition of [TVLA](https://www.rambus.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/TVLA-DTR-with-AES.pdf).
- Using something like AES to generate random data is very straightforward / comprehensible.
We could replace it by a SW implementation of AES to generate the data on-device.
