Are these generated API keys cryptographically secure?

Yes! All keys are generated using browser-native window.crypto.getRandomValues(), providing cryptographically secure hardware pseudo-random generation suitable for production API secrets, JWT tokens, and passwords.

What is the difference between UUID v4 and SHA-256 API keys?

UUID v4 is a 128-bit RFC 4122 formatted identifier suitable for unique database primary keys, while SHA-256 API secrets generate 256-bit 64-hex character secret tokens ideal for authenticating API requests.

Understanding Cryptographically Secure Random Key Generation

Standard pseudo-random number generators (like Math.random()) are predictable and dangerous when generating API secret keys, session tokens, or passwords.

CSPRNG Security

Our tool utilizes window.crypto.getRandomValues() to fetch high-entropy random bytes direct from device hardware.

UUID v4 Standard

RFC-4122 compliant 36-character GUIDs suitable for microservices, database IDs, and unique request headers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Never! All random byte generation runs entirely on your local device CPU via the browser's window.crypto API. No keys or passwords ever leave your machine.
