[Bug classpath/24481] SecureRandom.setSeed has no impact

[csm at gnu dot org]

I'm not sure I understand your situation. Are you doing:

  SecureRandom r = new SecureRandom ();
  for (...)
     r.getBytes (...);  // produces the same bytes each time

Or

  for (...)
    {
      SecureRandom r = new SecureRandom ();
      r.getBytes (...); // produces the same bytes each time
    }

I'd expect the second case to produce the same bytes on each iteration, but not
the first case.

Also, see bug 27111, which tracks the issue of SecureRandom instances not being
seeded properly.
