Soenneker.Extensions.RandomNumberGenerators

Uniform 64-bit signed, unsigned, and bounded sampling from a cryptographic RandomNumberGenerator.

Installation

dotnet add package Soenneker.Extensions.RandomNumberGenerators

Sample a bounded signed integer

using Soenneker.Extensions.RandomNumberGenerators;

using RandomNumberGenerator rng = RandomNumberGenerator.Create();

long index = rng.GetInt64(exclusiveMax: 1_000); // 0 through 999
long signed = rng.GetInt64(-500, 500);           // -500 through 499

Both bounded overloads use rejection sampling rather than % alone, so every value in the requested interval has the same probability.

GetInt64(exclusiveMax) returns a value in [0, exclusiveMax) and requires a positive maximum.
GetInt64(min, max) returns a value in [min, max) and supports intervals spanning the negative and positive halves of the complete signed range. It requires min < max.

Invalid bounds throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException. The generator must be non-null.

Sample the full 64-bit domain

long anySigned = rng.GetInt64();
ulong anyUnsigned = rng.GetUInt64();

The parameterless methods sample uniformly across all bit patterns of Int64 or UInt64, respectively. The signed result can be negative. GetUInt64() fills eight bytes and interprets them in little-endian order; byte order does not affect uniformity.

Randomness quality and disposal behavior come from the supplied RandomNumberGenerator. These methods are suitable for cryptographic sampling when the supplied generator is suitable, but converting a random value to text does not by itself provide enough entropy for every token format—choose the range/bit count according to the security requirement.
