Provides a couple of usefull functions for generating random strings by randomly chosing values from a list of possible characters

Function definitions:

core.encryption.random.randomint(minimum, maximum)

Wrapper function for getting a random int

Args:

• minimum: the minimum value
• maximum: the maximum value

Returns:

a random integer between (including) minumum, maximum

core.encryption.random.randombase(length=None, choices='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789')

Wrapper function for getting a random choice from a list of choices

Args:

• length: the length of the random string to return
• choices: a list of choices to choose from

Returns:

A string with the specified length of random choices

Wrapper function for getting a random id

Produces a 64 length random string with symbols by default.

Args:

• length: the length of the random string to return
• choices: a list of choices to choose from
