Class SimpleID\Crypt\Random

Obtains a number of random bytes using the native random_bytes() function.

Obtains a random string of a specified number of bytes of entropy.

The function calls the bytes() function with the specified number of bytes, then converts to a string containing only alphanumeric characters (case sensitive), plus the characters ., _ and -.

The conversion method is based on the Base64 encoding. However, non-standard characters are used so that users are not confused and attempt to decode the returned string.

Generates a random string that can be used as a password.

The function calls the bytes() function with the specified number of characters, then converts to a string containing only alphanumeric characters (case sensitive). The conversion method is a form of Base58 encoding, which strips out confusing characters such as I, l, O and 0.

Generates a relatively unique identifier which can be used as, among other things, an OpenID association handle or an OAuth client identifier.

Note that the identifier returned is not cryptographically secure.

Generates a short-lived code as a number with a specified number of digits

Note that the identifier returned is not cryptographically secure.
