Math.random() is not cryptographically secure #73

@gen0cide

Description

@gen0cide

function getRandomInt(min, max) {

This function is used to generate unique UIDs throughout the SAML library. Given that SAML deals with authentication, it seems like poor practice to not generate random UIDs in a cryptographically secure manner.
