Bug #51636 [Fbk]: openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() painfully slow

Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51636&edit=1 ID: 51636 Updated by: scottmac@php.net Reported by: kaisellgren at gmail dot com Summary: openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() painfully slow Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: OpenSSL related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.3.2 Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It's a by reference parameter, not an option parameter. I don't see the delay here on Win7 x64 with 5.3-dev Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-06-14 17:40:49] seld@php.net On 5.3.6, Win7 x64, and it seems on other windows versions as well, the call to openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() still takes one second. Since apparently doing non-crypto-safe output is not possible on windows, it would be great to at least work on the delay for crypto-safe output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-06-14 11:18:05] pajoye@php.net Windows version? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-06-14 10:22:18] seld@php.net The changelog says this has been fixed in 5.3.4, but the function still takes 1second to return on my machine (5.3.6). Note that the amount of bytes doesn't matter, and it's always around 1second. $t = microtime(true); openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(1, $strong); var_dump(microtime(true) - $t, $strong); Outputs: float 1.0317049026489 boolean true ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-04-23 10:47:16] pajoye@php.net Under CLI or inside a web server?
