From: shevegen@... Date: 2016-04-01T14:42:25+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:74772] [Ruby trunk Feature#12242] Is it worth adding collision probability of SecureRandom functions in RubyDoc? Issue #12242 has been updated by Robert A. Heiler. You mean you suggest to have the documentation better? The UI can be a bit confusing I agree, I'd like to have a separate tracker for documentation, since docu is definitely not a "bug", but also not 100% a real "feature" (since the latter should imply behavioural changes). I am all in favour of better documentation - I know next to nothing about collisions in SecureRandom at all. ---------------------------------------- Feature #12242: Is it worth adding collision probability of SecureRandom functions in RubyDoc? https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12242#change-57900 * Author: Kashyap K * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: ---------------------------------------- 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:
