CSHARP.LIB.RAND.NEW : Single-use Random Number Generator (C#)

JavaScript is not currently enabled, but is required for full CodeSonar manual search and browse functionality.

If you are viewing this file in your hub's Web GUI, enable JavaScript in your browser: you will also need it for GUI functionality.

If you opened this file directly from disk, your browser may be directly suppressing JavaScript functionality: certain browsers perform this suppression on local files (but not files delivered by web servers) for security reasons.

If you access the manual through the hub's Web GUI, the functionality will not be suppressed because the hub is a web server.
Alternatively, your browser may allow you to explicitly disable the security setting that suppresses functionality. See the CodeSonar FAQ for more information.

CSHARP.LIB.RAND.NEW : Single-use Random Number Generator (C#)

要旨

Instead, create only one instance of a static secure random generator and use it for all random number generation.

例

using System;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

namespace Random
{
  public class Random
  {
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      System.Random r = new System.Random();                  // Insecure Random Number Generator (C#) warning issued here 
      int[] array = MkRandomArray(Math.Abs(r.Next() % 1000)); // Single-use Random Number Generator (C#) warning issued here 
      foreach (int i in array)
        Console.WriteLine(i);


      System.Random r2 = new System.Random(15);               // Two warnings issued here: 
                                                              // - Insecure Random Number Generator (C#) 
                                                              // - Hardcoded Random Seed (C#)
      for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        Console.WriteLine("Random value with fixed seed: "+r.Next()); //  warning issued here 

    }
    private static int[] MkRandomArray(int length)
    {
      int[] result = new int[length];                         // Two warnings issued here 
                                                              // - Insecure Random Number Generator (C#)
                                                              // - Single-use Random Number Generator (C#)
      for (int pos = 0; pos < length; pos++)
        result[pos] = new System.Random().Next();
      return result;
    }
  }
}

using System.Security.Cryptography;

private static RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider();

public static void Main(string[] args)
{

  int[] array = MkRandomArray(Math.Abs(getRandomInt() % 1000));
  foreach (int i in array)
    Console.WriteLine(i);
}
private static int[] MkRandomArray(int length)
{
  int[] result = new int[length];
  for (int pos = 0; pos < length; pos++)
  {
    result[pos] = getRandomInt();
  }
  return result;
}

private static int getRandomInt() {
  byte[] buffer = new byte[4];
  rng.GetBytes(buffer);
  return BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 0);
}

解決法

Use System.Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider instead of System.Random. Store the random generator in a field instead of a local variable.
