Field Summary
protected  I2PAppContext _context
           
 
Constructor Summary
RandomSource(I2PAppContext context)
          Deprecated - do not instantiate this directly, as you won't get the good one (Fortuna).
 
Method Summary
 void feedEntropy(String source, byte[] data, int offset, int len)
          Feed the entropy pools with data[offset:offset+len]
 void feedEntropy(String source, long data, int bitoffset, int bits)
          Feed the entropy pools with the bits in the data
static RandomSource getInstance()
          Singleton for whatever PRNG i2p uses.
 EntropyHarvester harvester()
           
 boolean initSeed(byte[] buf)
           
 void loadSeed()
           
 void nextBytes(byte[] buf, int offset, int length)
          Not part of java.util.SecureRandom, but added since Fortuna supports it.
 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(long n)
          Like the modified nextInt, nextLong(n) returns a random number from 0 through n, including 0, excluding n.
 void saveSeed()

Field Detail

_context

protected final I2PAppContext _context
Constructor Detail

RandomSource

public RandomSource(I2PAppContext context)
Deprecated - do not instantiate this directly, as you won't get the good one (Fortuna). Use getInstance() or I2PAppContext.getGlobalContext().random() to get the FortunaRandomSource instance.

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. This code unused, see FortunaRandomSource override

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. This code unused, see FortunaRandomSource override


nextBytes

public void nextBytes(byte[] buf,
                      int offset,
                      int length)
Not part of java.util.SecureRandom, but added since Fortuna supports it. This code unused, see FortunaRandomSource override

Since:
0.8.12

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)
