The .rnd file extension relates to random hash data format used by PuTTY or VMware to generate unique certificates. The rnd file contains random data for creating secure certificates. Without proper software you may see a message “How do you want to open this file?” or “Windows cannot open this file.” Right-click the file, choose “Open with” and select an application. Suggested software to open rnd files includes Pretty Good Privacy (PGP). PGP Random Seed files contain random data for generating session keys and should be kept securely.
Another type of rnd file is an old AutoCAD Autoshade rendering slide. Autoshade was a DOS application to produce realistic 3D renderings of AutoCAD drawings. Files with the rnd extension can have different uses depending on the software that created them. It’s important to regularly backup rnd files to prevent data loss. Use reliable antivirus software to protect against attacks. If you lose an rnd file, try file recovery software to restore it.
The OpenSSL application references rnd files. A random seed initializes a pseudorandom number generator. Visit the OpenSSL site for details on the rnd format. Without the right program installed, you may get an error when trying to open an rnd file. To open the file, right-click it, choose “Open with” and select an installed application.
