prng: Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

Overview

The prng package provides a high-performance, cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) that implements the io.Reader interface. Designed for concurrent use, it leverages the ChaCha20 cipher stream to efficiently generate random bytes.

The package includes a global Reader and a sync.Pool to manage PRNG instances, ensuring low contention and optimized performance.

Performance Benchmarks for concurrent reads of standard size Nano ID generation of 21 bytes:

  • Throughput: ~3.16 ns/op
  • Memory Usage: 0 B/op
  • Allocations: 0 allocs/op

These benchmarks demonstrate the package's focus on minimizing latency, memory usage, and allocation overhead, making it suitable for high-performance applications.

Features

  • Cryptographic Security: Utilizes the ChaCha20 cipher for secure random number generation.
  • Concurrent Support: Includes a thread-safe global Reader for concurrent access.
  • Efficient Resource Management: Uses a sync.Pool to manage PRNG instances, reducing the overhead on crypto/rand.Reader.
  • Extensible API: Allows users to create and manage custom PRNG instances via NewReader.

Installation

To install the package, run the following command:

go get -u github.com/sixafter/nanoid/x/crypto/prng

Usage

Global Reader:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	
	"github.com/sixafter/nanoid/x/crypto/prng"
)

func main() {
	buffer := make([]byte, 64)
	n, err := prng.Reader.Read(buffer)
	if err != nil {
		// Handle error
	}
	fmt.Printf("Read %d bytes of random data: %x\n", n, buffer)
}

Architecture

  • Global Reader: A pre-configured io.Reader (prng.Reader) manages a pool of PRNG instances for concurrent use.
  • PRNG Instances: Each instance uses ChaCha20, initialized with a unique key and nonce sourced from crypto/rand.Reader.
  • Error Handling: The errorPRNG ensures safe failure when initialization errors occur.
  • Resource Efficiency: A sync.Pool optimizes resource reuse and reduces contention on crypto/rand.Reader.

var Reader io.Reader

Reader is a global io.Reader that manages a pool of prng instances internally. It allows concurrent reads without exposing pool management to the user.

Example usage: 

buffer := make([]byte, 64)
n, err := Reader.Read(buffer)
if err != nil {
    // Handle error
}
fmt.Printf("Read %d bytes of random data: %x\n", n, buffer)

Functions

func NewReader 

func NewReader() (io.Reader, error)

NewReader returns a new instance that implements the io.Reader interface. This instance can be used for cryptographically secure, pseudo-random byte generation.

Example usage: 

reader, err := NewReader()
if err != nil {
    // Handle error
}

buffer := make([]byte, 64)
n, err := reader.Read(buffer)
if err != nil {
    // Handle error
}
fmt.Printf("Read %d bytes of random data: %x\n", n, buffer)
