SecureRandomGen
Mon 01 January 2018Syntax
SecureRandomGen([num][, bytes])
Description
Use the SecureRandomGen function to generate one or more cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) values. For example, a CSPRNG value can be used as a salt to then generate a hashed (or âsaltedâ) string, such as a hashed password.
Note: Because SecureRandomGen is based on the Java security SecureRandom function, it is more efficient to call it once to return an array of required salt values than it is to call it for each salt value required.
