require 'active_support/deprecation' 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 deprecate :generate_secret=>"You should use ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.hex(64)" end end
