          java.security.SecureRandom
              net.i2p.util.RandomSource

All Implemented Interfaces:
  EntropyHarvester, java.io.Serializable

public class FortunaRandomSource
extends RandomSource
implements EntropyHarvester

Wrapper around GNU-Crypto's Fortuna PRNG. This seeds from /dev/urandom and ./prngseed.rnd on startup (if they exist), writing a new seed to ./prngseed.rnd on an explicit call to saveSeed().

Constructor Summary
`FortunaRandomSource(I2PAppContext context)`

Method Summary
`void` `feedEntropy(java.lang.String source, byte[] data, int offset, int len)` reseed the fortuna
`void` `feedEntropy(java.lang.String source, long data, int bitoffset, int bits)` reseed the fortuna
`EntropyHarvester` `harvester()`
`protected int` `nextBits(int numBits)` Pull the next numBits of random data off the fortuna instance (returning -2^numBits-1 through 2^numBits-1
`boolean` `nextBoolean()` override as synchronized, for those JVMs that don't always pull via nextBytes (cough ibm)
`void` `nextBytes(byte[] buf)` override as synchronized, for those JVMs that don't always pull via nextBytes (cough ibm)
`double` `nextDouble()` Implementation from sun's java.util.Random javadocs
`float` `nextFloat()` Implementation from sun's java.util.Random javadocs
`double` `nextGaussian()` Implementation from sun's java.util.Random javadocs
`int` `nextInt()` override as synchronized, for those JVMs that don't always pull via nextBytes (cough ibm)
`int` `nextInt(int n)` According to the java docs (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Random.html#nextInt(int)) nextInt(n) should return a number between 0 and n (including 0 and excluding n).
`long` `nextLong()` override as synchronized, for those JVMs that don't always pull via nextBytes (cough ibm)
`long` `nextLong(long n)` Like the modified nextInt, nextLong(n) returns a random number from 0 through n, including 0, excluding n.

Constructor Detail

### FortunaRandomSource

    public FortunaRandomSource(I2PAppContext context)

Method Detail

### setSeed

    public void setSeed(byte[] buf)

### nextInt

    public int nextInt(int n)

  According to the java docs (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/api/java/util/Random.html#nextInt(int)) nextInt(n) should return a number between 0 and n (including 0 and excluding n). However, their pseudocode, as well as sun's, kaffe's, and classpath's implementation INCLUDES NEGATIVE VALUES. WTF. Ok, so we're going to have it return between 0 and n (including 0, excluding n), since thats what it has been used for.

  Overrides:
    `nextInt` in class `RandomSource`
