Issue #12242 has been reported by Kashyap K. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12242: Is it worth adding collision probability of SecureRandom functions in RubyDoc? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12242 * Author: Kashyap K * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * ruby -v: * Backport: ---------------------------------------- Is it feasible and/or even useful to document the probability of collisions for the various random number generation methods in the SecureRandom module? I feel having a note to read about the possibility of collisions happening for the various key lengths and generator functions might help a lot of beginners. Although there are many birthday paradox checkers online, I felt it would be a nice to have on the documentation pages directly. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
