# A class for creating random secret keys. This class will do its best to create a
5
# random secret key that's as secure as possible, using whatever methods are
6
# available on the current platform. For example:
8
# generator = Rails::SecretKeyGenerator("some unique identifier, such as the application name")
9
# generator.generate_secret # => "f3f1be90053fa851... (some long string)"

# This class is *deprecated* in Rails 2.2 in favor of ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.
12
# It is currently a wrapper around ActiveSupport::SecureRandom.
