Crypto-Random Bytes Generator

Cryptographically secure random bytes

About

Crypto-random bytes are generated using cryptographically secure random number generators (CSPRNG). They provide the highest level of randomness and security, suitable for cryptographic keys, tokens, and security-sensitive identifiers. The Web Crypto API's getRandomValues() method uses a CSPRNG that is suitable for cryptographic purposes. The length can be customized based on your security requirements, with 32 bytes (256 bits) being a common choice for high-security applications.

Use Cases

  • Cryptographic keys and secrets
  • Security tokens and session IDs
  • Initialization vectors (IVs)
  • Nonces and random challenges
  • Password reset tokens
  • API keys and authentication tokens
  • High-security unique identifiers

Code Example

// Native Web Crypto API
const length = 32; // 32 bytes = 256 bits
const bytes = new Uint8Array(length);
crypto.getRandomValues(bytes);
const hexId = Array.from(bytes)
  .map(b => b.toString(16).padStart(2, '0'))
  .join('');
