* This empty constructor automatically seeds the generator. We attempt

* generation algorithm has not been thoroughly studied or widely deployed.

* <p>The first time this constructor is called in a given Virtual Machine,
* it may take several seconds of CPU time to seed the generator, depending
* on the underlying hardware. Successive calls run quickly because they
* rely on the same (internal) pseudo-random number generator for their
* seed bits.
* An empty constructor that creates an unseeded SecureRandom object.
* <p>
* Unless the user calls setSeed(), the first call to engineGetBytes()
* will have the SeedGenerator provide sufficient seed bytes to
* completely randomize the internal state of the generator (20 bytes).
* Note that the old threaded seed generation algorithm is provided
* only as a fallback, and has not been thoroughly studied or widely
* deployed.
* <p>
* The SeedGenerator relies on a VM-wide entropy pool to generate
* seed bytes for these objects. The first time the SeedGenerator is
* called, it may take several seconds of CPU time to initialize,
* depending on the underlying hardware. Successive calls run
* quickly because they rely on the same (internal) pseudo-random
* number generator for their seed bits.
