## org.bouncycastle.crypto.prng
Class BasicEntropySourceProvider

    java.lang.Object
      org.bouncycastle.crypto.prng.BasicEntropySourceProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:
  EntropySourceProvider

public class BasicEntropySourceProvider
extends java.lang.Object
implements EntropySourceProvider

An EntropySourceProvider where entropy generation is based on a SecureRandom output using SecureRandom.generateSeed().

Constructor Summary
`BasicEntropySourceProvider(java.security.SecureRandom random, boolean isPredictionResistant)` Create a entropy source provider based on the passed in SecureRandom.

Method Summary
`EntropySource` | `get(int bitsRequired)` Return an entropy source that will create bitsRequired bits of entropy on each invocation of getEntropy().

Constructor Detail

### BasicEntropySourceProvider

    public BasicEntropySourceProvider(java.security.SecureRandom random,
                                      boolean isPredictionResistant)

  Create a entropy source provider based on the passed in SecureRandom.

Parameters:
  `random` - the SecureRandom to base EntropySource construction on.
  `isPredictionResistant` - boolean indicating if the SecureRandom is based on prediction resistant entropy or not (true if it is).

Method Detail

### get

    public EntropySource get(int bitsRequired)

  Return an entropy source that will create bitsRequired bits of entropy on each invocation of getEntropy().

  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `EntropySourceProvider`
  Parameters:
    `bitsRequired` - size (in bits) of entropy to be created by the provided source.
  Returns:
    an EntropySource that generates bitsRequired bits of entropy on each call to its getEntropy() method.
