          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(long n)
          Like the modified nextInt, nextLong(n) returns a random number from 0 through n, including 0, excluding n.

Field Detail

_context

protected final I2PAppContext _context
Constructor Detail

RandomSource

public RandomSource(I2PAppContext context)
Method Detail

getInstance

public static RandomSource getInstance()
Singleton for whatever PRNG i2p uses. Same as I2PAppContext.getGlobalContext().random(); use context.random() if you have a context already.

Returns:
I2PAppContext.getGlobalContext().random()

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 Random

nextLong

public long nextLong(long n)
Like the modified nextInt, nextLong(n) returns a random number from 0 through n, including 0, excluding n.


harvester

public EntropyHarvester harvester()

feedEntropy

public void feedEntropy(String source,
                        long data,
                        int bitoffset,
                        int bits)
Description copied from interface: EntropyHarvester
Feed the entropy pools with the bits in the data

Specified by:
feedEntropy in interface EntropyHarvester
Parameters:
source - origin of the entropy, allowing the harvester to determine how much to value the data
bitoffset - bit index into the data array to start (using java standard big-endian)
bits - how many bits to use

feedEntropy

public void feedEntropy(String source,
                        byte[] data,
                        int offset,
                        int len)
Description copied from interface: EntropyHarvester
Feed the entropy pools with data[offset:offset+len]

Specified by:
feedEntropy in interface EntropyHarvester
Parameters:
source - origin of the entropy, allowing the harvester to determine how much to value the data
offset - index into the data array to start
len - how many bytes to use

loadSeed

public void loadSeed()

saveSeed

public void saveSeed()

writeSeed

public static final void writeSeed(byte[] buf)

initSeed

public final boolean initSeed(byte[] buf)

main
