Class DigestRandomGenerator

java.lang.Object

org.bouncycastle.crypto.prng.DigestRandomGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

RandomGenerator

public class DigestRandomGenerator
extends Object
implements RandomGenerator

Random generation based on the digest with counter. Calling addSeedMaterial will always increase the entropy of the hash.

Internal access to the digest is synchronized so a single one of these can be shared.
