As the ``++java.util.Random++`` class relies on a non-cryptographic pseudorandom number generator, this class and relating ``++java.lang.Math.random()++`` method should not be used for security-critical applications or for protecting sensitive data. In such context, the ``++java.security.SecureRandom++`` class which relies on a CSPRNG should be used in place.

== Recommended Secure Coding Practices
|
|
|
|
* Use a cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator (CSPRNG) like "java.security.SecureRandom" in place of a non-cryptographic PRNG.
|
|
* Use the generated random values only once.
|
|
* You should not expose the generated random value. If you have to store it, make sure that the database or file is secure.
|
|
|
|
== Sensitive Code Example
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
Random random = new Random(); // Sensitive use of Random
|
|
byte bytes[] = new byte[20];
|
|
random.nextBytes(bytes); // Check if bytes is used for hashing, encryption, etc...
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
== Compliant Solution
|
|
|
|
[source,java]
|
|
----
|
|
SecureRandom random = new SecureRandom();
|
|
byte bytes[] = new byte[20];
|
|
random.nextBytes(bytes);
