Mersenne Twister not as secure as it seems

Open cowwoc opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

According to http://security.stackexchange.com/a/59392/5002 Mersenne Twister is vulnerate to attacks. Perhaps you should warn users in the Javadoc and/or http://maths.uncommons.org/ about this fact?

Isn't it pretty general knowledge that Marsenne Twister is not cryptographically secure? I mean, if people end up with uncommons-math they have already chosen not to use neither Random or SecureRandom
