If no * <code>RandomGenerator</code> is provided in the constructor, the default is * to use a {@link Well19937c} generator. To plug in a different * implementation, either implement <code>RandomGenerator</code> directly or * extend {@link AbstractRandomGenerator}. * <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> * <p> * For details on the default PRNGs, see {@link java.util.Random} and * {@link java.security.SecureRandom}. * </p> * <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> * </ul> * </p> * @since 3.1 */ public class RandomDataGenerator implements RandomData, Serializable { /** Serializable version identifier */ private static final long serialVersionUID = -626730818244969716L; /** underlying random number generator */ private RandomGenerator rand = null; /** underlying secure random number generator */ private RandomGenerator secRand = null; /** * Construct a RandomDataGenerator, using a default random generator as the source * of randomness. * * <p>The default generator is a {@link Well19937c} seeded * with {@code System.currentTimeMillis() + System.identityHashCode(this))}. * The generator is initialized and seeded on first use.</p> */ public RandomDataGenerator() { } /** * Construct a RandomDataGenerator using the supplied {@link RandomGenerator} as * the source of (non-secure) random data. * * @param rand the source of (non-secure) random data * (may be null, resulting in the default generator) */ public RandomDataGenerator(RandomGenerator rand) { this.rand = rand; } /** * {@inheritDoc} * <p> * <strong>Algorithm Description:</strong> hex strings are generated using a * 2-step process. * <ol> * <li>{@code len / 2 + 1} binary bytes are generated using the underlying * Random</li> * <li>Each binary byte is translated into 2 hex digits</li> * </ol> * </p> * * @param len the desired string length. * @return the random string. * @throws NotStrictlyPositiveException if {@code len <= 0}. */ public String nextHexString(int len) throws NotStrictlyPositiveException { if (len <= 0) { throw new NotStrictlyPositiveException(LocalizedFormats.LENGTH, len); } // Get a random number generator RandomGenerator ran = getRandomGenerator(); // Initialize output buffer StringBuilder outBuffer = new StringBuilder(); // Get int(len/2)+1 random bytes byte[] randomBytes = new byte[(len / 2) + 1]; ran.nextBytes(randomBytes); // Convert each byte to 2 hex digits for (int i = 0; i < randomBytes.length; i++) { Integer c = Integer.valueOf(randomBytes[i]); /* * Add 128 to byte value to make interval 0-255 before doing hex * conversion.
