<FONT color="green">024</FONT> * A component that can generate random number/byte values as needed. Useful in cryptography or security scenarios<a name="line.24"></a>
<FONT color="green">025</FONT> * where random byte arrays are needed, such as for password salts, nonces, initialization vectors and other seeds.<a name="line.25"></a>
<FONT color="green">026</FONT> * &lt;p/&gt;<a name="line.26"></a>
<FONT color="green">027</FONT> * This is essentially the same as a {@link java.security.SecureRandom SecureRandom}, and indeed implementations<a name="line.27"></a>
<FONT color="green">028</FONT> * of this interface will probably all use {@link java.security.SecureRandom SecureRandom} instances, but this<a name="line.28"></a>
<FONT color="green">029</FONT> * interface provides a few additional benefits to end-users:<a name="line.29"></a>
<FONT color="green">030</FONT> * &lt;ul&gt;<a name="line.30"></a>
<FONT color="green">031</FONT> * &lt;li&gt;It is an interface rather than the JDK's {@code SecureRandom} concrete implementation. Implementation details<a name="line.31"></a>
<FONT color="green">032</FONT> * can be customized as necessary based on the application's needs&lt;/li&gt;<a name="line.32"></a>
<FONT color="green">033</FONT> * &lt;li&gt;Default per-instance behavior can be customized on implementations, typically via JavaBeans mutators.&lt;/li&gt;<a name="line.33"></a>
<FONT color="green">034</FONT> * &lt;li&gt;Perhaps most important for Shiro end-users, tt can more easily be used as a source of cryptographic seed data,<a name="line.34"></a>
<FONT color="green">035</FONT> * and the data returned is already in a more convenient {@link ByteSource ByteSource} format in case that data needs<a name="line.35"></a>
<FONT color="green">036</FONT> * to be {@link org.apache.shiro.util.ByteSource#toHex() hex} or<a name="line.36"></a>
<FONT color="green">037</FONT> * {@link org.apache.shiro.util.ByteSource#toBase64() base64}-encoded.&lt;/li&gt;<a name="line.37"></a>
<FONT color="green">038</FONT> * &lt;/ul&gt;<a name="line.38"></a>
<FONT color="green">039</FONT> * For example, consider the following example generating password salts for new user accounts:<a name="line.39"></a>
<FONT color="green">040</FONT> * &lt;pre&gt;<a name="line.40"></a>
<FONT color="green">041</FONT> * RandomNumberGenerator saltGenerator = new {@link org.apache.shiro.crypto.SecureRandomNumberGenerator SecureRandomNumberGenerator}();<a name="line.41"></a>
<FONT color="green">042</FONT> * User user = new User();<a name="line.42"></a>
<FONT color="green">043</FONT> * user.setPasswordSalt(saltGenerator.nextBytes().toBase64());<a name="line.43"></a>
<FONT color="green">044</FONT> * userDAO.save(user);<a name="line.44"></a>
