A two week discussion period has been held for the reliable user-land CSPRNG RFC to add random_bytes() and random_int(). The RFC has now been moved into voting. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/easy_userland_csprng There was some discussion of prefixing the function names with crypto_*() but there are a few reasons we decided against this: 1) There is a crypto pecl extension, so the pseudo-namespace might cause confusion. 2) We want to work on a fully featured crypto framework for 7.1, and crypto_* is a good prefix for that, so again, we don't want to mix things up. Thanks! Thanks, Sammy Kaye Powers sammyk.me 230 S Clark St #194 Chicago, IL 60604
