Xelor

Xelor was built for systems that require random bytes for processes faster than one second. Because normal random generation is based off of time as a seed, if there exists multiple calls towards SecureRandom or Rand within one second, the same number will be produced. This can be resolved on unix or linux based systems by making a system call to read /dev/urandom.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'xelor'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install xelor

Usage

require 'xelor'

# will produce a random string of hex characters
Xelor::hex(12)
