As different providers of NativePRNG may have different implementations, we
want to give users the ability to specify their provider. Thus, we need to add
config option(s) to specify the the provider or default to 'SUN' and fail over
to grab the system-default NativePRNG.
> Enhance Pallier acquisition of PRNG provider

> Key: PIRK-2
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIRK-2
> Project: PIRK
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Tim Ellison
> Assignee: Tim Ellison
>
> {{org.apache.pirk.encryption.Pallier}} has a hard coded requirement for the
> {{NativePRNG}} algorithm to be supplied by the {{SUN}} provider. This causes
> the {{test.general.PaillierTest}} to fail on IBM's Java implementation.
> The implementation should allow the provider to be configured by the
> java.security properties of the runtime to allow for provider optimizations,
> etc.
> Furthermore, the instantiation of a provider is relatively (CPU) expensive,
> so reusing the PRNG is preferable to acquiring it each time a value is
> required.
