Example: Crypt2.GenRandomBytesENC method

Shows how to use the GenRandomBytesENC method to generate a specified number of random bytes and return them as a binary encoded string, such as in base64 or hex format. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$crypt = New-Object Chilkat.Crypt2

# Example of a some of the binary encodings supported by Chilkat.

# Internally uses the Fortuna cryptographically secure random number generation algorithm
# auto-seeded from a secure source of entropy that depends on the OS.

$crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"
$s = $crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(8)
$("Uppercase Hex: " + $s)

$crypt.EncodingMode = "hex_lower"
$s = $crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(8)
$("Lowercase Hex: " + $s)

$crypt.EncodingMode = "base64"
$s = $crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(8)
$("Base64: " + $s)

$crypt.EncodingMode = "base64url"
$s = $crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(8)
$("Base64Url: " + $s)

$crypt.EncodingMode = "base58"
$s = $crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(8)
$("Base58: " + $s)

$crypt.EncodingMode = "base32"
$s = $crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(8)
$("Base32: " + $s)

$crypt.EncodingMode = "decList"
$s = $crypt.GenRandomBytesENC(8)
$("Decimal List: " + $s)
