Remove the xorshift random generator #20

Closed fabiolimace closed 4 years ago

The implementation of xorshift in this project is not secure, as it depends on the internal parts of java.util.Random. Another problem is that it has not been well tested, although the algorithm is simple.

There are many alternatives to this xorshift on github.
