NOTE: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is GetBytes(Int32).
Returns pseudo-random key bytes.

public override function GetBytes( cb : int ) : byte[]
This method can create any number of pseudo-random bytes. However, the strength of the byte sequence is limited by the number of bytes in the hash output.
