Surprisingly, it even allows security to be maintained if the adversary also knows the key used to the encode the messages.
#BEST RANDOM GENERATOR ALGORITHM CODE#
Here is the code for this visual comparison.Randomness is vital for computer security, making possible secure encryption that allows people to communicate secretly even if an adversary sees all coded messages. This is totally different from what was obtained 4 years ago in another note, with an unknown environment. In the top half with random points, in the lower half with random intensity on each point.

On a 64b Debian Stretch with PHP 5.6.21, there is no visible difference: So the differences vary with their respective versions. Rand() comes from the libc, and mt_rand() is internal to PHP. Leave them both there so your code will be more portable. NB: it is generally safe to leave both the attempt to read /dev/urandom and the attempt to access CAPICOM in your code, though each will fail silently on the other's platform. redundancy and useless =CRLF by hashing. if we ask for binary data PHP munges it, so we On most Unix/Linux and/or MS-Windows platforms you can get a better grade of pseudorandom bits from the OS or system library, like this:
#BEST RANDOM GENERATOR ALGORITHM PASSWORD#
If you need some pseudorandom bits for security or cryptographic purposes (e.g.g., random IV for block cipher, random salt for password hash) mt_rand() is a poor source. (rand is on the left, mt_rand on the right) infact for a 100x100 pixel image the noise produced from the rand function is much more realistic than how it is for a 400x400 image: The differences reduce when reducing the pixels of the image. I wanted to spot out the big difference between rand and mt_rand when producing images using randomness as noise.įor example this is a comparation between rand and mt_rand on a 400x400 pixel png:
