smd_token
Public tag to return a cryptographically secure sequence of characters. Very handy for using inside plugins or CSP headers.
Installation / Uninstallation
Download this plugin and then paste the code from the .txt file into the Textpattern Admin->Plugins panel, install and enable the plugin. For bug reports, please raise an issue.
To uninstall, delete the plugin from the Admin->Plugins panel.
Usage examples
16-character tokens are default therefore to return a 16-character randomly-generated token:
<txp:smd_token />Display a 24-character randomly-generated token:
<txp:smd_token length="24" />Display a 12-character randomly-generated token with a prefix:
<txp:smd_token length="12" prefix="nonce-" />Outputs something like nonce-ab1b7f98175e.

Source code
If you’d rather dive in and out of functions, you’ll need to step into the view source page.
Legacy software
If, for some inexplicable reason, you need a prior version of a plugin, it can probably be found on the plugin archive page.
Experimental software
If you’re feeling brave, or fancy dipping your toe in shark-infested water, you can test out some of my beta code. It can be found on the plugin beta page.
