Class VertxContextPRNG


  • public class VertxContextPRNG
    extends Object
    A secure non blocking random number generator isolated to the current context. The PRNG is bound to the vert.x context and setup to close when the context shuts down.

    When applicable, use of VertxContextPRNG rather than create new PRNG objects is helpful to keep the system entropy usage to the minimum avoiding potential blocking across the application.

    The use of VertxContextPRNG is particularly appropriate when multiple handlers use random numbers.

    NOTE: This class has been automatically generated from the original non RX-ified interface using Vert.x codegen.

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object
      • current

        public static VertxContextPRNG current()
        Get or create a secure non blocking random number generator using the current vert.x context. If there is no current context (i.e.: not running on the eventloop) then a IllegalStateException is thrown. Note, if a context isn't allowed to be used, for example, exceptions are thrown on getting and putting data, the VertxContextPRNG falls back to instantiate a new instance of the PRNG per call.
        Returns:
        A secure non blocking random number generator.
      • current

        public static VertxContextPRNG current​(Vertx vertx)
        Get or create a secure non blocking random number generator using the current vert.x instance. Since the context might be different this method will attempt to use the current context first if available and then fall back to create a new instance of the PRNG. Note, if a context isn't allowed to be used, for example, exceptions are thrown on getting and putting data, the VertxContextPRNG falls back to instantiate a new instance of the PRNG per call.
        Parameters:
        vertx - a Vert.x instance.
        Returns:
        A secure non blocking random number generator.
      • close

        public void close()
        stop seeding the PRNG
      • nextString

        public String nextString​(int length)
        Returns a Base64 url encoded String of random data with the given length. The length parameter refers to the length of the String before the encoding step.
        Parameters:
        length - the desired string length before Base64 encoding.
        Returns:
        A base 64 encoded string.
      • nextInt

        public int nextInt()
        Returns a secure random int
        Returns:
        random int.
      • nextInt

        public int nextInt​(int bound)
        Returns a secure random int, between 0 (inclusive) and the specified bound (exclusive).
        Parameters:
        bound - the upper bound (exclusive), which must be positive.
        Returns:
        random int.
      • nextBoolean

        public boolean nextBoolean()
        Returns a secure random boolean
        Returns:
        random boolean.
      • nextLong

        public long nextLong()
        Returns a secure random long
        Returns:
        random long.
      • nextFloat

        public float nextFloat()
        Returns a secure random float value. The value is uniformly distributed between 0.0 and 1.0
        Returns:
        random float.
      • nextDouble

        public double nextDouble()
        Returns a secure random double value. The value is uniformly distributed between 0.0 and 1.0
        Returns:
        random double.
      • nextGaussian

        public double nextGaussian()
        Returns a secure random double value. The value is Gaussian ("normally") distributed with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0
        Returns:
        random double.
      • nextBytes

        public void nextBytes​(byte[] bytes)
        Fills the given byte array with random bytes.
        Parameters:
        bytes - a byte array.
