Class FixedSecureRandom

java.lang.Object

java.util.Random

java.security.SecureRandom

com.dropbox.core.android.FixedSecureRandom

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class FixedSecureRandom
extends java.security.SecureRandom

Older versions of Android have a SecureRandom that isn't actually secure. This class implements a workaround. Call the static get() method to get a secure SecureRandom instance.

This workaround code was recommended by Google in a euphemistically-titled blog post. Our code is slightly different because we're a library so we don't want to change global JVM settings.
