generate()

CryptRand::generate	(		$bytes,
			$forceStrong = false )

Generate a run of (ideally) cryptographically random data and return it in raw binary form.

You can use CryptRand::wasStrong() if you wish to know if the source used was cryptographically strong.

Parameters

int	$bytes	The number of bytes of random data to generate
bool	$forceStrong	Pass true if you want generate to prefer cryptographically strong sources of entropy even if reading from them may steal more entropy from the system than optimal.

Returns

string Raw binary random data

generateHex()

CryptRand::generateHex	(		$chars,
			$forceStrong = false )

Generate a run of (ideally) cryptographically random data and return it in hexadecimal string format.

You can use CryptRand::wasStrong() if you wish to know if the source used was cryptographically strong.

Parameters

int	$chars	The number of hex chars of random data to generate
bool	$forceStrong	Pass true if you want generate to prefer cryptographically strong sources of entropy even if reading from them may steal more entropy from the system than optimal.

Returns

string Hexadecimal random data

initialRandomState()

CryptRand::initialRandomState ( )

protected

Initialize an initial random state based off of whatever we can find.

Returns

string

randomState()

CryptRand::randomState ( )

protected

Return a rolling random state initially build using data from unstable sources.

Returns

string A new weak random state

wasStrong()

CryptRand::wasStrong

(

)

Return a boolean indicating whether or not the source used for cryptographic random bytes generation in the previously run generate* call was cryptographically strong.

Returns

bool Returns true if the source was strong, false if not.

$strong

CryptRand::$strong = null

protected

A boolean indicating whether the previous random generation was done using cryptographically strong random number generator or not.

MIN_ITERATIONS

const CryptRand::MIN_ITERATIONS = 1000

Minimum number of iterations we want to make in our drift calculations.

Definition at line 32 of file CryptRand.php.

MSEC_PER_BYTE

const CryptRand::MSEC_PER_BYTE = 0.5

Number of milliseconds we want to spend generating each separate byte of the final generated bytes.

This is used in combination with the hash length to determine the duration we should spend doing drift calculations.
