VertxContextPRNG (Vert.x Stack

All Known Implementing Classes:

PRNG
```
public interface VertxContextPRNG
```
A secure non blocking random number generator isolated to the current context. The PRNG is bound to the vert.x context and setup to close when the context shuts down.
When applicable, use of VertxContextPRNG rather than create new PRNG objects is helpful to keep the system entropy usage to the minimum avoiding potential blocking across the application.
The use of VertxContextPRNG is particularly appropriate when multiple handlers use random numbers.

- Method Detail
  - current
```
static VertxContextPRNG current()
```
    Get or create a secure non blocking random number generator using the current vert.x context. If there is no current context (i.e.: not running on the eventloop) then a IllegalStateException is thrown.
    
    Returns:
    
    A secure non blocking random number generator.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - when there is no context available.
  - current
```
static VertxContextPRNG current(Context context)
```
    Get or create a secure non blocking random number generator using the provided vert.x context. This method will not throw an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    context - a Vert.x context.
    
    Returns:
    
    A secure non blocking random number generator.
  - current
```
static VertxContextPRNG current(Vertx vertx)
```
    Get or create a secure non blocking random number generator using the current vert.x instance. Since the context might be different this method will attempt to use the current context first if available and then fall back to create a new instance of the PRNG.
    
    Parameters:
    
    vertx - a Vert.x instance.
    
    Returns:
    
    A secure non blocking random number generator.
  - close
```
void close()
```
    stop seeding the PRNG
  - nextBytes
```
void nextBytes(byte[] bytes)
```
    Fills the given byte array with random bytes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - a byte array.
  - nextString
```
String nextString(int length)
```
    Returns a Base64 url encoded String of random data with the given length. The length parameter refers to the length of the String before the encoding step.
    
    Parameters:
    
    length - the desired string length before Base64 encoding.
    
    Returns:
    
    A base 64 encoded string.
  - nextInt
```
int nextInt()
```
    Returns a secure random int
    
    Returns:
    
    random int.
  - nextInt
```
int nextInt(int bound)
```
    Returns a secure random int, between 0 (inclusive) and the specified bound (exclusive).
    
    Parameters:
    
    bound - the upper bound (exclusive), which must be positive.
    
    Returns:
    
    random int.
  - nextBoolean
```
boolean nextBoolean()
```
    Returns a secure random boolean
    
    Returns:
    
    random boolean.
  - nextLong
```
long nextLong()
```
    Returns a secure random long
    
    Returns:
    
    random long.
  - nextFloat
```
float nextFloat()
```
    Returns a secure random float value. The value is uniformly distributed between 0.0 and 1.0
    
    Returns:
    
    random float.
  - nextDouble
```
double nextDouble()
```
    Returns a secure random double value. The value is uniformly distributed between 0.0 and 1.0
    
    Returns:
    
    random double.
  - nextGaussian
```
double nextGaussian()
```
    Returns a secure random double value. The value is Gaussian ("normally") distributed with mean 0.0 and standard deviation 1.0
    
    Returns:
    
    random double.
