Random Number Generators

IAIK-JCE includes a variety of random number generators including those from ANSI X9.17, FIPS PUB 186-2 and other hash-based random generators. In addition, IAIK-JCE provides utilities making it easy for GUI developers to use Java™ AWT events for seeding the generator.

SHA1Random	A SHA-1 hash-based secure random according to example E.5 of the AIS 20 (v2.0) document for Common Criteria from BSI.
MD5Random	A MD5 hash-based secure random according to example E.5 of the AIS 20 (v2.0) document for Common Criteria from BSI.
RipeMd160Random	A RIPEMD-160 hash-based secure random according to example E.5 of the AIS 20 (v2.0) document for Common Criteria from BSI.
SHA256Random	A SHA-256 hash-based secure random according to example E.5 of the AIS 20 (v2.0) document for Common Criteria from BSI.
SHA384Random	A SHA-384 hash-based secure random according to example E.5 of the AIS 20 (v2.0) document for Common Criteria from BSI.
