openssl_public_encrypt
Here's a drop-in replacement for rand() using OpenSSL as your PRNG:
<?php
function crypto_rand($min,$max) {
$range = $max - $min;
if ($range == 0) return $min; // not so random...
$length = (int) (log($range,2) / 8) + 1;
return $min + (hexdec(bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($length,$s))) % $range);
}
?>
openssl_random_pseudo_bytes
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0)
openssl_random_pseudo_bytes — Generate a pseudo-random string
Beschreibung
bool openssl_random_pseudo_bytes
( string $length
, string $strong
)
openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() returns a string with length caracters. It also indicates if it has used a strong algorithm to produce those pseudo-random bytes in the second argument.
Parameter-Liste
- length
-
The length of the desired string. Must be a positive integer. PHP will try to cast this parameter to a non-null integer to use it.
- strong
-
If a strong algorithm was used, or not, as a boolean. This parameter will be NULL if an error occurrs.
Rückgabewerte
Returns the generated string in cas of success, or FALSE in case of error.
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() example
<?php
for ($i = -1; $i < 5; $i++) {
var_dump(bin2hex(openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($i, $strong)));
var_dump($strong);
}
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt eine ähnliche Ausgabe wie:
string(0) "" NULL string(0) "" NULL string(2) "f6" bool(true) string(4) "8999" bool(true) string(6) "c202c9" bool(true) string(8) "45261b8f" bool(true)

If you don't have this function but you do have OpenSSL installed, you can always fake it:
<?php
function openssl_random_pseudo_bytes($length) {
$length_n = (int) $length; // shell injection is no fun
$handle = popen("/usr/bin/openssl rand $length_n", "r");
$data = stream_get_contents($handle);
pclose($handle);
return $data;
}
?>
