I haven't touched this area yet. If you think it's necessary, I would like to add the test inside the static <clinit> block of AbstractDrbg$SeederHolder. The test will be on Hash_DRBG/SHA-256 and whatever mech/algorithm defined by securerandom.drbg.config (They are the same by default). The test will be in the same thread (otherwise I don't know how to report an error). If it fails, a RuntimeException will be thrown. I can extract the test from CAVP, instantiate + reseed + generate with both non-null personalization string and additional input, and PR on. It won't take long. This is purely internal and automatic, maybe a new abstract method in AbstractDrbg is needed. Can we do this after the JEP? BTW, I probably will not be able to send out a new webrev today. Tomorrow is OK. Thanks Max
