Re: [RFC] [DISCUSSION] Reliable user-land CSPRNG

Hi! > I'm cool with that idea but I also think it should be spelled out like ` > random_crypto_*() as Pierre suggests. I like > secure_random_bytes()` but > that's because it's what Ruby names their CSPRNG. :) The custom is that the first word names the function group (yes, I know old functions do not follow it, but this is new one). Unless we're going to introduce a group of functions called secure_*, random_* is a natural choice. I would be careful with using words like "secure", "crypto" etc. in general because they may be easily misunderstood - something like random_bytes() would do as well I think. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
