| <pre>public interface <a href="../../../../src-html/org/apache/shiro/crypto/RandomNumberGenerator.html#line.49">RandomNumberGenerator</a></pre> |
| <div class="block">A component that can generate random number/byte values as needed. Useful in cryptography or security scenarios |
| where random byte arrays are needed, such as for password salts, nonces, initialization vectors and other seeds. |
| <p/> |
| This is essentially the same as a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/security/SecureRandom.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.security"><code>SecureRandom</code></a>, and indeed implementations |
| of this interface will probably all use <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/security/SecureRandom.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.security"><code>SecureRandom</code></a> instances, but this |
| interface provides a few additional benefits to end-users: |
| <ul> |
| <li>It is an interface rather than the JDK's <code>SecureRandom</code> concrete implementation. Implementation details |
| can be customized as necessary based on the application's needs</li> |
| <li>Default per-instance behavior can be customized on implementations, typically via JavaBeans mutators.</li> |
| <li>Perhaps most important for Shiro end-users, tt can more easily be used as a source of cryptographic seed data, |
| and the data returned is already in a more convenient <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/util/ByteSource.html" title="interface in org.apache.shiro.util"><code>ByteSource</code></a> format in case that data needs |
| to be <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/util/ByteSource.html#toHex--"><code>hex</code></a> or |
| <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/util/ByteSource.html#toBase64--"><code>base64</code></a>-encoded.</li> |
| </ul> |
| For example, consider the following example generating password salts for new user accounts: |
| <pre> |
| RandomNumberGenerator saltGenerator = new <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/crypto/SecureRandomNumberGenerator.html" title="class in org.apache.shiro.crypto"><code>SecureRandomNumberGenerator</code></a>(); |
| User user = new User(); |
| user.setPasswordSalt(saltGenerator.nextBytes().toBase64()); |
| userDAO.save(user); |
