Class Method Details

.base64(n = nil) ⇒ Object

SecureRandom.base64 generates a random base64 string.

The argument n specifies the length of the random length. The length of the result string is about 4/3 of n.

If n is not specified, 16 is assumed. It may be larger in future.

If secure random number generator is not available, NotImplementedError is raised.

def self.base64(n=nil)
  [random_bytes(n)].pack("m*").delete("\n")
end

.hex(n = nil) ⇒ Object

SecureRandom.hex generates a random hex string.

The argument n specifies the length of the random length. The length of the result string is twice of n.

If n is not specified, 16 is assumed. It may be larger in future.

If secure random number generator is not available, NotImplementedError is raised.

  random_bytes(n).unpack("H*")[0]
end

.lastWin32ErrorMessage ⇒ Object

Following code is based on David Garamond’s GUID library for Ruby.

  msg[0, len].tr("\r", '').chomp
end

.random_bytes(n = nil) ⇒ Object

SecureRandom.random_bytes generates a random binary string.

The argument n specifies the length of the result string.

If n is not specified, 16 is assumed. It may be larger in future.

If secure random number generator is not available, NotImplementedError is raised.

Raises:

  • (NotImplementedError)

.random_number(n = 0) ⇒ Object

SecureRandom.random_number generates a random number.

If an positive integer is given as n, SecureRandom.random_number returns an integer: 0 <= SecureRandom.random_number(n) < n.

If 0 is given or an argument is not given, SecureRandom.random_number returns an float: 0.0 <= SecureRandom.random_number() < 1.0.
