This looks pretty nice to my unskilled eye. Two questions. 1) Why is the number generator a parent class rather than an interface? It seems like an interface target. And either way it needs more clarity about how you'd write one for reals. (It returns an int, so does that mean getBytes() just derives from a series of ints?) 2) You don't mention the CSPRNG functions at all. Is there any intention to fold those into this model as well, or to leave those as is? Or is the Secure generator implementation intended to replace those? It's unclear here. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
