Hi
Does this project use a cryptographically secure PRNG?

Gear61 commented

I have no idea, probably not. It's just the Random class built into Java.

It would be interesting to use more robust algorithms as a plus for the project,although not required.
but we're looking for good quality random generator,in the end, randomness is the core of the project.
also add another sources of entropy could be interesting.

@Da0012 If you know a clean, simple Java API that can do that without adding a lot more complexity to the project, I'm happy to hear.

@yousifyou Download the app...?

Gear61 commented

@yousifyou Okay, you can now use the generator. Unsure what tokens you're referring to.

java.util.Random is not cryptographically secure. You can use java.security.SecureRandom (which is a subclass of java.util.Random) for a cryptographically secure PRNG
