There would be multiple SecureRandom (or whatever) instances and which one is chosen to produce a given random number will be essentially, well, random, making it, if possible, even harder to guess the next random number the consumer will use than if it just used one SecureRandom instance directly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
