Correct, with the word "cryptographically random" somewhere in
there, for at least 64 of the bits.
Which is 8 - 20 OCTETS
Correct, since an "octet" is 8 bits.
or 4 - 10 BYTES
No, a "byte" nowdays is the same as an "octet", though there have been
variant definitions of byte, while "octets" have always been 8 bits.
ARGH!!!
I am going back to bed.... :)

Thanks Viktor.
But my bit collision analysis still holds true. Collisions are not a
concern if openssl rand is a good prf.
