另一个版本，灵感来自于生成密码在JavaScript加密:

package main

import (
    "crypto/rand"
    "fmt"
)

var chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890-"

func shortID(length int) string {
    ll := len(chars)
    b := make([]byte, length)
    rand.Read(b) // generates len(b) random bytes
    for i := 0; i < length; i++ {
        b[i] = chars[int(b[i])%ll]
    }
    return string(b)
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println(shortID(18))
    fmt.Println(shortID(18))
    fmt.Println(shortID(18))
}

在icza精彩解释的解决方案之后，这里是它的一个修改，使用加密/兰特而不是数学/兰特。

const (
    letterBytes = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" // 52 possibilities
    letterIdxBits = 6                    // 6 bits to represent 64 possibilities / indexes
    letterIdxMask = 1<<letterIdxBits - 1 // All 1-bits, as many as letterIdxBits
)

func SecureRandomAlphaString(length int) string {

    result := make([]byte, length)
    bufferSize := int(float64(length)*1.3)
    for i, j, randomBytes := 0, 0, []byte{}; i < length; j++ {
        if j%bufferSize == 0 {
            randomBytes = SecureRandomBytes(bufferSize)
        }
        if idx := int(randomBytes[j%length] & letterIdxMask); idx < len(letterBytes) {
            result[i] = letterBytes[idx]
            i++
        }
    }

    return string(result)
}

// SecureRandomBytes returns the requested number of bytes using crypto/rand
func SecureRandomBytes(length int) []byte {
    var randomBytes = make([]byte, length)
    _, err := rand.Read(randomBytes)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal("Unable to generate random bytes")
    }
    return randomBytes
}

如果你想要一个更通用的解决方案，它允许你传入字符字节的切片来创建字符串，你可以尝试使用这个:

// SecureRandomString returns a string of the requested length,
// made from the byte characters provided (only ASCII allowed).
// Uses crypto/rand for security. Will panic if len(availableCharBytes) > 256.
func SecureRandomString(availableCharBytes string, length int) string {

    // Compute bitMask
    availableCharLength := len(availableCharBytes)
    if availableCharLength == 0 || availableCharLength > 256 {
        panic("availableCharBytes length must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 256")
    }
    var bitLength byte
    var bitMask byte
    for bits := availableCharLength - 1; bits != 0; {
        bits = bits >> 1
        bitLength++
    }
    bitMask = 1<<bitLength - 1

    // Compute bufferSize
    bufferSize := length + length / 3

    // Create random string
    result := make([]byte, length)
    for i, j, randomBytes := 0, 0, []byte{}; i < length; j++ {
        if j%bufferSize == 0 {
            // Random byte buffer is empty, get a new one
            randomBytes = SecureRandomBytes(bufferSize)
        }
        // Mask bytes to get an index into the character slice
        if idx := int(randomBytes[j%length] & bitMask); idx < availableCharLength {
            result[i] = availableCharBytes[idx]
            i++
        }
    }

    return string(result)
}

如果你想传入你自己的随机源，修改上面的内容来接受io是很简单的。Reader而不是使用crypto/rand。

另一个版本，灵感来自于生成密码在JavaScript加密:

package main

import (
    "crypto/rand"
    "fmt"
)

var chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890-"

func shortID(length int) string {
    ll := len(chars)
    b := make([]byte, length)
    rand.Read(b) // generates len(b) random bytes
    for i := 0; i < length; i++ {
        b[i] = chars[int(b[i])%ll]
    }
    return string(b)
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println(shortID(18))
    fmt.Println(shortID(18))
    fmt.Println(shortID(18))
}

这里是一个简单而高效的加密安全随机字符串的解决方案。

package main

import (
    "crypto/rand"
    "unsafe"
    "fmt"
)

var alphabet = []byte("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")

func main() {
    fmt.Println(generate(16))
}

func generate(size int) string {
    b := make([]byte, size)
    rand.Read(b)
    for i := 0; i < size; i++ {
        b[i] = alphabet[b[i] % byte(len(alphabet))]
    }
    return *(*string)(unsafe.Pointer(&b))
}

基准

Benchmark  95.2 ns/op      16 B/op      1 allocs/op

package main

import (
    "encoding/base64"
    "fmt"
    "math/rand"
    "time"
)

// customEncodeURL is like `bas64.encodeURL` 
// except its made up entirely of uppercase characters:
const customEncodeURL = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZABCDEFGHIJKL"

// Random generates a random string.
// It is not cryptographically secure.
func Random(n int) string {
    b := make([]byte, n)
    rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())
    _, _ = rand.Read(b) // docs say that it always returns a nil error.

    customEncoding := base64.NewEncoding(customEncodeURL).WithPadding(base64.NoPadding)
    return customEncoding.EncodeToString(b)
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println(Random(16))
}

使用包uniuri，它生成加密安全的统一(无偏)字符串。
