NAME

       random-crypto -  (encryption)

PURPOSE

       Obtain a random string for cryptographic use.

SYNTAX

           random-crypto to <random string> \
               [ length <string length> ]

DESCRIPTION

       random-crypto  obtains a random string of length <string length>. This statement uses a cryptographically
       secure pseudo random generator (CSPRNG) from OpenSSL library.  If "length" clause is omitted, the  length
       is 20 by default.

       The value generated is always binary and may contain null-characters and is null-terminated.

       Use  this  statement  only  when  needed for specific cryptographic uses. In all other cases, use random-
       string which is considerably faster.

EXAMPLES

       Get a 20-digit long random binary value:

           random-crypto to str length 20
