Expand description

Used to generate CSRF tokens.

This trait is used to generate a token that can be used as a CSRF token. It is implemented for all CSRNG (Cryptographically Secure RNG) types, so in general, you don’t need to implement this yourself. In fact, you should avoid implementing this trait unless you’re aware of the security implications.

Implementors of this trait should generate a token that’s difficult to guess, and is safe to store as a cookie. For blanket implementations, this is 32 bytes of random data, encoded as base64 without padding.

Required Methods

source

fn generate_token(&mut self) -> Result<String, Error>

Generates a CSRF token.

Errors

Returns an error if the underlying RNG fails to generate a token.
