Description
Currently TYPO3 does not provide a method for creation of random bytes. Random bytes are needed for cryptographic operations. Think of getting salted password hashes into core. Then the used salt should be as random as possible.
As such method could be useful for TYPO3 extension developers or other use cases for TYPO3 Core, it should go into t3lib_div.
