It should also be noted that 'mt_rand' function is NOT cryptographically secure. This
means, among other things, that you cannot depend on it to generate data that is expected to be
unpredictable, i.e. truly random. Depending on circumstances, a third person using
'mt_rand' will be able to generate the exact random number (or series of them) you have,
which may break your security system.
