Our primary choice for a cryptographic strong randomness function is openssl_random_pseudo_bytes.

If mcrypt extension is available then we use it to gather entropy from the operating system's PRNG. This is better than reading /dev/urandom directly since it avoids reading larger blocks of data than needed.

No build-in crypto randomness function found. We collect any entropy available in the PHP core PRNGs along with some filesystem info and memory stats. To make this data cryptographically strong we add data either from /dev/urandom or if its unavailable, we gather entropy by measuring the time needed to compute a number of SHA-1 hashes.

ElggCrypto::getRandomString (   $length,
  $chars = null 
)

Generate a random string of specified length.

Uses supplied character list for generating the new string. If no character list provided - uses Base64 URL character set.

Parameters
int$lengthDesired length of the string
string | null$charsCharacters to be chosen from randomly. If not given, the Base64 URL charset will be used.
Returns
string The random string
Exceptions
InvalidArgumentException

ElggCrypto::strlen (   $binary_string)
protected

Count the number of bytes in a string.

We cannot simply use strlen() for this, because it might be overwritten by the mbstring extension. In this case, strlen() will count the number of characters based on the internal encoding. A sequence of bytes might be regarded as a single multibyte character.

Use elgg_strlen() to count UTF-characters instead of bytes.

Parameters
string$binary_stringThe input string
Returns
int The number of bytes
