Hi,

I'm reviewing the source code of Apache MINA 2.0.21 and SSHD 2.5.1, in
order to find out how Apache MINA uses Bouncy Castle for random numbers.

As far as I could see, Apache MINA SSHD verifies whether the BC provider
is registered, and if so, it uses the needed crypto algorithms.

However, I don't see any reference to instantiate the DRBG. Instead,
Apache Mina seems to initialize the randomFactory by using the
VMPCRandomGenerator() method implemented in BC, instead of the DRBG
implementations.

Is there any way to override this setting from the calling application,
that is, using one of the SP800-90A DRBG methods implemented in Bouncy
Castle for SSH key exchange?

Thanks,
Alejandro
