instance to provide data for the <code>nextSecureXxx</code> methods. If no
<code>RandomGenerator</code> is provided in the constructor, the default is
to use a <a href="../../../../../org/apache/commons/math3/random/Well19937c.html" title="class in org.apache.commons.math3.random"><code>Well19937c</code></a> generator. To plug in a different

<p>
Supports reseeding the underlying pseudo-random number generator (PRNG). The
<code>SecurityProvider</code> and <code>Algorithm</code> used by the
<code>SecureRandom</code> instance can also be reset.

<p>

<strong>Usage Notes</strong>:
<ul>
<li>
Instance variables are used to maintain <code>RandomGenerator</code> and
<code>SecureRandom</code> instances used in data generation. Therefore, to
generate a random sequence of values or strings, you should use just
<strong>one</strong> <code>RandomDataImpl</code> instance repeatedly.</li>
<li>
The "secure" methods are *much* slower. These should be used only when a
cryptographically secure random sequence is required. A secure random
sequence is a sequence of pseudo-random values which, in addition to being
well-dispersed (so no subsequence of values is an any more likely than other
subsequence of the the same length), also has the additional property that
knowledge of values generated up to any point in the sequence does not make
it any easier to predict subsequent values.</li>
<li>
When a new <code>RandomDataImpl</code> is created, the underlying random
number generators are <strong>not</strong> initialized. If you do not
explicitly seed the default non-secure generator, it is seeded with the
current time in milliseconds plus the system identity hash code on first use.
The same holds for the secure generator. If you provide a <code>RandomGenerator</code>
to the constructor, however, this generator is not reseeded by the constructor
nor is it reseeded on first use.</li>
<li>
The <code>reSeed</code> and <code>reSeedSecure</code> methods delegate to the
corresponding methods on the underlying <code>RandomGenerator</code> and
<code>SecureRandom</code> instances. Therefore, <code>reSeed(long)</code>
fully resets the initial state of the non-secure random number generator (so
that reseeding with a specific value always results in the same subsequent
random sequence); whereas reSeedSecure(long) does <strong>not</strong>
reinitialize the secure random number generator (so secure sequences started
with calls to reseedSecure(long) won't be identical).</li>
<li>
This implementation is not synchronized. The underlying <code>RandomGenerator</code>
or <code>SecureRandom</code> instances are not protected by synchronization and
are not guaranteed to be thread-safe. Therefore, if an instance of this class
is concurrently utilized by multiple threads, it is the responsibility of
client code to synchronize access to seeding and data generation methods.
</li>
