Description
SecureRandom implements the choose method that randomly draws from a source array of characters.
This method is currently private, but it could be useful as a public method.
For example for generating a pin number:
SecureRandom.choose((0..9).to_a, 6)
Another example is Rails, which implements SecureRandom.base36
and SecureRandom.base58
.
These implementations would be a lot simpler (and faster for base36) by replacing it with choose
