Alex D Herbert commented on RNG-19:
-----------------------------------
Is this redundant now given that SecureRandom can be configured to use
/dev/urandom?
[The Right Way to Use
SecureRandom|https://tersesystems.com/blog/2015/12/17/the-right-way-to-use-securerandom/]
Configuration is done in [JDK
1.8|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html#SecureRandomImp]
using:
{code:java}
// Linux / OS X only
SecureRandom.getInstance("NativePRNGNonBlocking")
{code}
> System generator (/dev/random)

> Project: Commons RNG
> Issue Type: Wish
> Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg
> Priority: Minor
>
> Commons RNG could include a random number generator based on the output of
> /dev/random or /dev/urandom on Unix systems.
> Commons Crypto has an implementation that could be used as a starting point:
