module Rails
# A class for creating random secret keys. This class will do its best to create a
# random secret key that's as secure as possible, using whatever methods are
# available on the current platform. For example:
#
# generator = Rails::SecretKeyGenerator("some unique identifier, such as the application name")
# generator.generate_secret # => "f3f1be90053fa851... (some long string)"
#
# This class is *deprecated* in Rails 2.2 in favor of ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.
# It is currently a wrapper around ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.
class SecretKeyGenerator
def initialize(identifier)
end
# Generate a random secret key with the best possible method available on
# the current platform.
def generate_secret
ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.hex(64)
end
end
