Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-30 18:11:44] mumu at seznam dot cz I have not studied the sources just the official docs at http://php.net/random_int. The page states: The sources of randomness used for this function are as follows: On Windows, CryptGenRandom() will always be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-30 18:03:35] ab@php.net Thanks for the report. Could you please point to the place where that deprecated APIs are used in 7.3? AFAIR php_get_random_bytes was moved to bcrypt at least in 7.2. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2018-10-30 12:32:47] mumu at seznam dot cz Description: ------------ The Windows API CryptGenRandom function is marked as deprecated with suggestion to use Cryptography Next Generation API instead.
