Random Number Generator Code

We were writing a common utility to help the development team is generating random numbers. The utility would allow the developer to choose between PRNG and TRNG. Also the developer can specify the range between which the random number needs to be generated.

We stopped our efforts mid-way, when we saw the excellent RandomDataGenerator class in the Apache commons Math library. This library has all the functions that would be required for most use-cases.

For e.g. to generate a random number between 1 and 1000 use the following method:
//not secure for cryptography, but super-fast
int value = randomNumberGenerator.nextInt(1,1000);
int value = randomNumberGenerator.nextSecureInt(1,1000); //secure

To generate random positive integers:
int value = randomNumberGenerator.nextInt(1,Integer.MAX_VALUE);
