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.
