MDGenerator

Generic message digest-based PRNGs are implemented via the MDGenerator class, which defines the following additional constants:

java.lang.String MD_NAME Variable

A property name in the attributes map used to initialize instances of MDGenerator. The value mapped must be a String representing the name of the hash function to use, such as "MD5". If this attribute is omitted the secure hash algorithm, SHA-1, is used.

java.lang.String SEEED Variable

A property name in the attributes map used to initialize instances of MDGenerator. The value mapped must be a byte array carrying the seed, with which to seed the PRNG. This attribute is optional.
