SecureRandom.NetCore 1.0.0

SecureRandom.NetCore

Implementation of a cryptographic pseudorandom number generator (CPRNG) using Blake2b. Optimized for PinnedMemory.

Install

From a command prompt

dotnet add package SecureRandom.NetCore

Install-Package SecureRandom.NetCore

Examples

You can find more examples in the github examples project.

var cprng = new SecureRandom();

var randomBytes = cprng.NextBytes(16); // create by length

var nextRandomBytes = new byte[32];
cprng.NextBytes(nextRandomBytes); // popualte by size

Constructor

WARNING: Never set seed to false unless you know what your doing. See example in github for more details.

SecureRandom(int rounds = 10, bool seed = true)

Methods

Get the hash output length used when seeding.

int GetSeedLength()

Will add bytes to existing seed material, this will be hashed with blake2b.

void SetSeed(byte[] seed)

Will add number to existing seed material, this will be hashed with blake2b.

void SetSeed(long seed)

Will return a random number between 0, and int.MaxValue.

int Next()

Will return a random number between 0, and maxValue.

int Next(int maxValue)

Will return a random number between minValue, and maxValue.

int Next(int minValue, int maxValue)

Will return random bytes at length.

byte[] NextBytes(int length)

Will populate random bytes by size.

void NextBytes(byte[] bytes)

Will populate random bytes with offset at length.

void NextBytes(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length)

Will return a random double between double.MinValue, and double.MaxValue.

double NextDouble()

Will return a random int between int.MinValue, and int.MaxValue.

int NextInt()

Will return a random long between long.MinValue, and long.MaxValue.

int NextLong()

Will free state, and all seed material.
