work around Android SecureRandom flaw #663

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Since connectbot uses SecureRandom in a number of places, it ought to include 
Google's fix for the bug(s) that make SecureRandom less random than it should 
be on Android:

(No, there's no way to "reproduce" this issue... it's purely theoretical, up 
until the time when someone manages to decrypt your connection due to poor 
randomness.)

I'd love to see the priority bumped on this. I've had to disable all of the 
ConnectBot keys in use at my org and start carrying around my laptop when on 
call again.
