Description

The cryptographically secure random number generator exposed to Android through the Java Cryptography Architecture is not properly initialized on some older unpatched versions of Android. Google provides a PRNGFixes.java class to force secure seeding of the CSRNG on all platform versions. This comment adds the PRNGFixes class & and a call to invoke the fixes from the FDroidApp class.

More detail is available from the Google Android Developers blogpost on the subject:
