The custom is that the first word names the function group (yes, I know
old functions do not follow it, but this is new one). Unless we're going
to introduce a group of functions called secure_*, random_* is a natural
choice. I would be careful with using words like "secure", "crypto" etc.
in general because they may be easily misunderstood - something like
random_bytes() would do as well I think.
