Gilles commented on RNG-19:
---------------------------
If the aim is to be able to use the "native" generator through the
{{UniformRandomProvider}} API, we could implement a wrapper similar to
[{{JDKRandom}}|https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-rng.git;a=blob;f=commons-rng-core/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/rng/core/source32/JDKRandom.java]:
{code:java}
public class JDKSecureRandom extends IntProvider {
private SecureRandom delegate;
public class JDKSecureRandom(Long[] seed) {
final byte[] s = NumberFactory.makeByteArray(seed);
delegate = new SecureRandom(s);
}
// ... (same as in "JDKRandom")
}
{code}
where we'd use the constructor that builds the [default
instance|https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/security/SecureRandom.html#SecureRandom-byte:A-]
so that the wrapper is usable on all OSes that support the JDK.

> 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:
