+==============
+
+This check flags all pseudo-random number engines, engine adaptor
+instantiations and ``srand()`` when initialized or seeded with default argument,
+constant expression or any user-configurable type. Pseudo-random number
+engines seeded with a predictable value may cause vulnerabilities e.g. in
+security protocols.
+This is a CERT security rule, see
+`MSC51-CPP. Ensure your random number generator is properly seeded
+<https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/cplusplus/MSC51-CPP.+Ensure+your+random+number+generator+is+properly+seeded>`_ and
+`MSC32-C. Properly seed pseudorandom number generators
+<https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/MSC32-C.+Properly+seed+pseudorandom+number+generators>`_.
+
+Examples:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  void foo() {
+    std::mt19937 engine1; // Diagnose, always generate the same sequence
+    std::mt19937 engine2(1); // Diagnose
+    engine1.seed(); // Diagnose
+    engine2.seed(1); // Diagnose
+    
+    std::time_t t;
+    engine1.seed(std::time(&t)); // Diagnose, system time might be controlled by user
+
+    int x = atoi(argv[1]);
+    std::mt19937 engine3(x);  // Will not warn
+  }
+
+Options
+-------
+
+.. option:: DisallowedSeedTypes
+
+   A comma-separated list of the type names which are disallowed.
+   Default values are ``time_t``, ``std::time_t``.
