/**
* A SecureRandom implementation that is able to override the standard JVM provided implementation, and which simply
* serves random numbers by reading /dev/urandom. That is, it delegates to the kernel on UNIX systems and is unusable on
* other platforms. Attempts to manually set the seed are ignored. There is no difference between seed bytes and
* non-seed bytes, they are all from the same source.
