# SecureRandom.ex [![[travis]](https://travis-ci.org/patricksrobertson/secure_random.ex.png)](https://travis-ci.org/patricksrobertson/secure_random.ex)

SecureRandom is an elixir module loosely based on Ruby's SecureRandom.

I needed urlsafe, random, base64 strings and UUID generation, so I ported over

what I needed :).

This gets its random from Erlang's `strong_rand_bytes/1` and is strongly based

from this [gist](https://gist.github.com/Myuzu/7367461). I had to remove some

things that didn't make it to Elixir 1.0, and cut the stuff that I do not

currently have use for.

Will accept PR's to flesh out further.

# INSTALL

```

base64 string:

```elixir

SecureRandom.base64(8) # => "VsifwaD2HCk="
