<pre>public interface <a href="../../../../src-html/org/apache/shiro/crypto/RandomNumberGenerator.html#line.49">RandomNumberGenerator</a></pre>
<div class="block">A component that can generate random number/byte values as needed. Useful in cryptography or security scenarios
where random byte arrays are needed, such as for password salts, nonces, initialization vectors and other seeds.
<p/>
This is essentially the same as a <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/security/SecureRandom.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.security"><code>SecureRandom</code></a>, and indeed implementations
of this interface will probably all use <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/security/SecureRandom.html?is-external=true" title="class or interface in java.security"><code>SecureRandom</code></a> instances, but this
interface provides a few additional benefits to end-users:
<ul>
<li>It is an interface rather than the JDK's <code>SecureRandom</code> concrete implementation. Implementation details
can be customized as necessary based on the application's needs</li>
<li>Default per-instance behavior can be customized on implementations, typically via JavaBeans mutators.</li>
<li>Perhaps most important for Shiro end-users, tt can more easily be used as a source of cryptographic seed data,
and the data returned is already in a more convenient <code>ByteSource</code> format in case that data needs
to be <code>hex</code> or
<code>base64</code>-encoded.</li>
</ul>
For example, consider the following example generating password salts for new user accounts:
<pre>
RandomNumberGenerator saltGenerator = new <a href="../../../../org/apache/shiro/crypto/SecureRandomNumberGenerator.html" title="class in org.apache.shiro.crypto"><code>SecureRandomNumberGenerator</code></a>();
User user = new User();
user.setPasswordSalt(saltGenerator.nextBytes().toBase64());
userDAO.save(user);
