public final class SecureRandomHack

extends java.lang.Object

This class is a hack to speed up SecureRandom initialization, working around JDK 1.1 brain damage. This class should disappear when we drop JDK 1.1.x support. Just call it before you call your first SecureRandom() constructor. This will only improve speed on UN*X, Windows and Mac don't have a /dev/random nor something equivalent.
