SecureRandom.hex generates a random hexadecimal string.

The argument n specifies the length, in bytes, of the random number to be generated. The length of the resulting hexadecimal string is twice n.

If n is not specified or is nil, 16 is assumed. It may be larger in future.

The result may contain 0-9 and a-f.
