Are tokens generated by ScriptPulse stored or logged?

No. Tokens are generated purely client-side in your browser session. They are not transmitted or retained by ScriptPulse.

Which format should I choose—hex or Base64?

Hex is more readable for debugging. Base64 URL-safe is more compact. Choose based on your system's input validation.

Roughly, byte length × 8 = entropy bits. A 32-byte token ≈ 256 bits entropy. Base64 encoding reduces bits per character slightly.

These tokens are for testing. Production tokens should follow your system's key rotation and lifecycle policies.

Generate a token here and transform it using another tool (e.g., Base64 Encoder) if format conversion is needed.

For sessions: rotate on login. For API keys: follow org policy (often 90 days). For invite codes: use once-per-flow.

Security Lab Tools

Generate secure random tokens in browser-friendly formats.

Token Generator creates random, cryptographically-secure tokens for use in APIs, authorization, testing, and temporary credentials.
Generate tokens of varying lengths and formats directly in your browser, ideal for mocking services or bootstrap testing.

Results should be validated in your target runtime before production use.
Extremely large input payloads may be constrained by browser memory and performance limits.

Insufficient length: Tokens shorter than 32 bytes may be vulnerable to brute force. Use at least 32 bytes.
Non-cryptographic randomness: Math.random() is not secure. Always use crypto.getRandomValues or equivalent.
Storing tokens in logs: Never log tokens in production. They should be treated like passwords.
Reusing tokens across environments: Use different tokens for dev, staging, prod. Do not copy production tokens to local testing.
No token expiration: Tokens should have validity windows tied to user sessions or API key rotation policies.
Mixing encoding formats: Ensure your application consistently decodes the expected format (hex vs Base64). Mismatches cause auth failures.

Hex encoding: Token represented as hexadecimal (0-9, a-f). Common for short tokens and debug readability.
Base64: Compact encoding using letters, digits, +, /, and padding. URL-safe removes + and / with - and _.
Byte length: 32 bytes = 256 bits entropy. 64 bytes = 512 bits. Longer tokens offer more security against brute-force.
Entropy: Tokens should be generated from a cryptographically-secure random source (e.g., window.crypto.getRandomValues).
Bearer tokens: Commonly used in HTTP Authorization header. Format: Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Session tokens: Typically stored in HTTP-only cookies or secure client storage for web sessions.
API keys: Fixed or rotating tokens identifying clients and authorizing requests.

Specifications & Standards

Are tokens generated by ScriptPulse stored or logged?
No. Tokens are generated purely client-side in your browser session. They are not transmitted or retained by ScriptPulse.
Which format should I choose—hex or Base64?
Hex is more readable for debugging. Base64 URL-safe is more compact. Choose based on your system's input validation.
Is token length the same as entropy bits?
Roughly, byte length × 8 = entropy bits. A 32-byte token ≈ 256 bits entropy. Base64 encoding reduces bits per character slightly.
Can I use these tokens in production?
These tokens are for testing. Production tokens should follow your system's key rotation and lifecycle policies.
What happens if I need a token in a specific format?
Generate a token here and transform it using another tool (e.g., Base64 Encoder) if format conversion is needed.
How often should I regenerate tokens?
For sessions: rotate on login. For API keys: follow org policy (often 90 days). For invite codes: use once-per-flow.
