The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Bytes::Random::Secure
DSLIP: Rdpfp
description: Cryptographically suitable random bytes
userid: DAVIDO (David J. Oswald)
chapterid: 14 (Security_and_Encryption)
communities:
similar:
Bytes::Random, Math::Random::Secure
rationale:
Bytes::Random provides random bytes but they're based on Perl's
default random number generator, and not suitable for cryptgraphic
use. Math::Random::Secure provides a nice source, but the interface
could be better suited to generating an arbitrary number of bytes.
This module combines the user-interface of Bytes::Random with the
quality of Math::Random::Secure's generator, while also providing
the ability to get the random bytes in several formats.
One reason for not wrapping this module into Bytes::Random is that
it has significantly heaver dependencies than Bytes::Random (because
of the need for a suitable generator, as well as a strong means of
seeding the generator).
