public class ISAACRandom
extends IntProvider

A fast cryptographic pseudo-random number generator.

ISAAC (Indirection, Shift, Accumulate, Add, and Count) generates 32-bit random numbers. ISAAC has been designed to be cryptographically secure and is inspired by RC4. Cycles are guaranteed to be at least 2⁴⁰ values long, and they are 2⁸²⁹⁵ values long on average. The results are uniformly distributed, unbiased, and unpredictable unless you know the seed.

This code is based (with minor changes and improvements) on the original implementation of the algorithm by Bob Jenkins.
