Andrew Wang commented on HADOOP-10734:
--------------------------------------
I think the OpenSSL mode that Yi's patch added is FIPS compliant. Wikipedia
says that RdRand meets "standards such as NIST SP 800-90A,[4] FIPS 140-2, and
ANSI X9.82.[2]", so users who care can enable that. At the same time, it seems
like others would like to use /dev/urandom, and this patch also allows that.
Mike, does this work for you? I think we could also commit what's here right
now, and re-examine FIPS compliance if necessary in a follow-on JIRA.

> This JIRA is to implement Secure random using JNI to OpenSSL, and
> implementation should be thread-safe.
> Utilize RdRand to return random numbers from hardware random number
> generator. It's TRNG(True Random Number generators) having much higher
> performance than {{java.security.SecureRandom}}.
