    This generator uses the rdgen random generator which is built into modern intel chips.

    Before using, you should check via the isSupported query.

    Warning:

	there have been discussions about the security of the intel rdgen instruction

	and whether there are NSA backdoors built into it.

	Linus Torwalds refuses to use it for /dev/urandom in the linux kernel, for that very reason.

	Be sure you know what you are doing, if you use this generator for sensitive cryptographic stuff.

	We recommend using one of the libcrypt-based generators and use this only to get additional

	entropy for the seed.

    NO WARRANTY

    RandomRDGen new nextInteger

    [see also:]

	RandomGenerator - the default; uses the machine's /dev/random if available

	Random  - fast, but generates less quality random numbers

	RandomTT800 - another random generator

	RandomParkMiller - another random generator

	RandomMT19937 - another random generator

	RandomKISS - another random generator

	exept:libcrypt - a library containing more stuff based on hashes and cyphers
