# mcrypt_create_iv

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

mcrypt_create_iv — Creates an initialization vector (IV) from a random source

### Opis

string mcrypt_create_iv ( int `$size` [, int `$source` = MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM ] )

Creates an initialization vector (IV) from a random source.

The IV is only meant to give an alternative seed to the encryption routines. This IV does not need to be secret at all, though it can be desirable. You even can send it along with your ciphertext without losing security.

### Parametry

`size`

  The size of the IV.

`source`

  The source of the IV. The source can be `MCRYPT_RAND` (system random number generator), `MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM` (read data from /dev/random) and `MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM` (read data from /dev/urandom). Prior to 5.3.0, `MCRYPT_RAND` was the only one supported on Windows.

### Zwracane wartości

Returns the initialization vector, or `FALSE` on error.

### Rejestr zmian

Wersja | Opis
--- | ---
5.3.0 | `MCRYPT_DEV_RANDOM` and `MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM` became available on Windows platforms.
5.3.0 | It is no longer required to call srand() first. This is now done automatically.
