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,
