nextSecureXxx methods. If no RandomGenerator is provided in the constructor, the default is to use a generator based on {@link java.util.Random}. To plug in a different implementation, either implement RandomGenerator directly or extend {@link AbstractRandomGenerator}. Supports reseeding the underlying pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). The SecurityProvider and Algorithm used by the SecureRandom instance can also be reset.
For details on the default PRNGs, see {@link java.util.Random} and{@link java.security.SecureRandom}.
Usage Notes:
RandomGenerator and SecureRandom instances used in data generation. Therefore, to generate a random sequence of values or strings, you should use just one RandomDataImpl instance repeatedly.RandomDataImpl is created, the underlying random number generators are not initialized. If you do not explicitly seed the default non-secure generator, it is seeded with the current time in milliseconds on first use. The same holds for the secure generator. If you provide a RandomGenerator to the constructor, however, this generator is not reseeded by the constructor nor is it reseeded on first use.reSeed and reSeedSecure methods delegate to the corresponding methods on the underlying RandomGenerator and SecureRandom instances. Therefore, reSeed(long) fully resets the initial state of the non-secure random number generator (so that reseeding with a specific value always results in the same subsequent random sequence); whereas reSeedSecure(long) does not reinitialize the secure random number generator (so secure sequences started with calls to reseedSecure(long) won't be identical). | |
