Provides instructions for replacing deprecated RandomizeKey method calls with GenRandomBytesENC.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

use chilkat();

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

$crypt->put_CryptAlgorithm("aes");
$crypt->put_CipherMode("cbc");
$crypt->put_KeyLength(256);
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The RandomizeKey method is deprecated:

# Generates and sets a random 32-byte (256-bit) secret key.
$crypt->RandomizeKey();

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using GenRandomBytesENC followed by SetEncodedKey

$crypt->put_EncodingMode("base64");
$randomKeyBase64 = $crypt->genRandomBytesENC(32);
$crypt->SetEncodedKey($randomKeyBase64,"base64");
