module SecureRandom
Secure random number generator interface.
This library is an interface to secure random number generators which are suitable for generating session keys in HTTP cookies, etc.
You can use this library in your application by requiring it:
require 'securerandom'
It supports the following secure random number generators:
openssl
/dev/urandom
Win32
Examples
Generate random hexadecimal strings:
require 'securerandom'
p SecureRandom.hex(10) #=> "52750b30ffbc7de3b362"
p SecureRandom.hex(10) #=> "92b15d6c8dc4beb5f559"
p SecureRandom.hex(13) #=> "39b290146bea6ce975c37cfc23"
Generate random base64 strings:
p SecureRandom.base64(10) #=> "EcmTPZwWRAozdA=="
p SecureRandom.base64(10) #=> "KO1nIU+p9DKxGg=="
p SecureRandom.base64(12) #=> "7kJSM/MzBJI+75j8"
Generate random binary strings:
p SecureRandom.random_bytes(10) #=> "\016\t{\370g\310pbr\301"
p SecureRandom.random_bytes(10) #=> "\323U\030TO\234\357\020\a\337"
Generate UUIDs:
p SecureRandom.uuid #=> "2d931510-d99f-494a-8c67-87feb05e1594"
p SecureRandom.uuid #=> "bad85eb9-0713-4da7-8d36-07a8e4b00eab"
