Comment #2 on issue 2905 by [email protected]: windows: random number
generator has weak entropy
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2905
We do not provide the secure source of entropy as part of V8. Embedders can
do that using v8::V8::SetEntropySource().
For an example of how this is done in Blink, take a look at
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch#chromium/src/third_party/WebKit/Source/web/WebKit.cpp&l=102.
On Windows, Blink uses rand_s function that is Windows-specific way of
providing cryptographically-secure random numbers
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sxtz2fa8(v=vs.90).aspx). I recommend
closing this bug as working as intended.
