GenerateRandomBytes Method

Generates a cryptographically-secure random byte string.

Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int GenerateRandomBytes(int iNumBytes);

Unicode (Windows)
INT GenerateRandomBytes(INT iNumBytes);
- (void)generateRandomBytes:(int)numBytes;
#define MID_AMAZONKMS_GENERATERANDOMBYTES 15

CLOUDKEYS_EXTERNAL int CLOUDKEYS_CALL CloudKeys_AmazonKMS_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

This method uses Amazon KMS to generate a cryptographically-secure random byte string of the specified length (measured in bytes). The random bytes are output to the output stream supplied via the SetOutputStream method, the OutputFile, or the OutputData property.

The value passed for NumBytes must be in the range 1 to 1024.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
