+ </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>
