RE: [Python Tips] Secrets Module - New in 3.6

in #programming8 years ago

Nice article and all, but I still wouldn't wanna use python for generating cryptographic secrets just because of personal paranoia. Would be curious to see where secrets gets its entropy from.
Btw have a look at : https://www.random.org/
I found a python wrapper for their JSON RPC service which can be used to generate passwords etc. See: https://github.com/mitchchn/randomapi
That being said be very careful when generating cryptographic secrets or when generating entropy.
Always remember that entropy cannot be detected, but the lack of entropy can be detected.
