Seeding the PRNG #42

Open

I needed to seed the PRNG with a specific value. After some poking around I found that it can be done like so:

function hex2Array(hex)
{
var arr = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < hex.length; i += 2)
arr[i/2] = parseInt(hex.substr(i, 2), 16);
return arr;
}

var seedByteArray = hex2Array(seedHexStr);

////////////////
rng_state = prng_newstate();
rng_state.init(seedByteArray);
///////////////

It might be nice to add these last two lines into a "seed" function of the SecureRandom class in the future

@kjur Any chance that this will be implemented?
