CryptoGenerateRandom function

Syntax: result-string = CryptoGenerateRandom(Length)

Discussion: The CryptoGenerateRandom function generates a binary (non-printable) string of random characters of <Length> bytes. The resulting string may be used for any purpose and can be especially useful for generating encryption Keys.

History: This function is available in Comet32 only.

Example: LENGTH 16 & LOCAL Random$

Random$ = CryptoGenerateRandom(16)
