Hi Go Kudo, The closest library I know and used when I had that need you mentioned is a userland implementation: https://github.com/paragonie/RandomLib, created by Anthony Ferrara and not maintained by Paragon Initiative Enterprises. The library is organized nicely with a Generator class that depends on constructor of a source for randomness. The source has just a simple method to obtain a specific number of bytes and that's all. I think the naming is what needs more input here. I'm thinking we can also have: - a random bytes source/generator that can be very similar with what you propose: an interface, multiple internal classes, allowing userland extra classes. - a random generator class that would have multiple useful methods like: randomInt($min, $max), randomFloat(), randomBytes($size), randomString($size, $possibleCharacters) etc. As for namings, calling them - RandomGenerator final class that accepts at constructor a - RandomSource interface with one method getBytes($size) implemented by RandomXorShift128PlusSource, RandomMT19937Source, RandomLibsodiumSource, SecureOsSpecificSource etc. is a quick idea from me. State, when is the case, sits in the random source object and can be of course serialized. Other than this, initiative looks good. I apologize if I provided the feedback a bit late. Regards, Alex
