Filtering `/dev/urandom` for alphanumeric characters resulted in loss of input entropy to base64. Fixing this using a procedure with these steps: * Read 32 bytes from `/dev/urandom` (`dd`) * Base64-encode (`base64`) * Strip newlines (`tr -d`) * URL-Escape (`tr`) * Append a final newline (`echo`) This output should be equivalent to output generated using Python and OpenSSL variants mentioned in the changed document file. Newlines are stripped as `base64` wraps its output and the option to disable this (`-w 0`) is not available in all implementations. Fixes: #1511 |
