# 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.
