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. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

crypt = Chilkat::CkCrypt2.new()

# 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.put_EncodingMode("hex")
s = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(8)
print "Uppercase Hex: " + s + "\n";

crypt.put_EncodingMode("hex_lower")
s = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(8)
print "Lowercase Hex: " + s + "\n";

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64")
s = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(8)
print "Base64: " + s + "\n";

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base64url")
s = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(8)
print "Base64Url: " + s + "\n";

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base58")
s = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(8)
print "Base58: " + s + "\n";

crypt.put_EncodingMode("base32")
s = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(8)
print "Base32: " + s + "\n";

crypt.put_EncodingMode("decList")
s = crypt.genRandomBytesENC(8)
print "Decimal List: " + s + "\n";
