This gem is intended for use with Ruby 1.8.6 only.
This gem is a backport of the built-in securerandom method from Ruby 1.8.7.
This library is an interface for secure random number generator which is suitable for generating session key in HTTP cookies, etc.
It supports following secure random number generators.
* openssl * /dev/urandom
Examples
SecureRandom.hex(10) => "52750b30ffbc7de3b362" SecureRandom.hex(10) => "92b15d6c8dc4beb5f559" SecureRandom.hex(11) => "6aca1b5c58e4863e6b81b8" SecureRandom.hex(12) => "94b2fff3e7fd9b9c391a2306" SecureRandom.hex(13) => "39b290146bea6ce975c37cfc23"
Examples
SecureRandom.base64(10) => "EcmTPZwWRAozdA==" SecureRandom.base64(10) => "9b0nsevdwNuM/w==" SecureRandom.base64(10) => "KO1nIU+p9DKxGg==" SecureRandom.base64(11) => "l7XEiFja+8EKEtY=" SecureRandom.base64(12) => "7kJSM/MzBJI+75j8" SecureRandom.base64(13) => "vKLJ0tXBHqQOuIcSIg=="
Examples
SecureRandom.random_bytes(10) => "\016\t{\370g\310pbr\301" SecureRandom.random_bytes(10) => "\323U\030TO\234\357\020\a\337"
