/** @namespace Random number generator
 *
 * @description
 * <p>
 * This random number generator is a derivative of Ferguson and Schneier's
 * generator Fortuna.  It collects entropy from various events into several
 * pools, implemented by streaming SHA-256 instances.  It differs from
 * ordinary Fortuna in a few ways, though.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Most importantly, it has an entropy estimator.  This is present because
 * there is a strong conflict here between making the generator available
 * as soon as possible, and making sure that it doesn't "run on empty".
 * In Fortuna, there is a saved state file, and the system is likely to have
 * time to warm up.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Second, because users are unlikely to stay on the page for very long,
 * and to speed startup time, the number of pools increases logarithmically:
 * a new pool is created when the previous one is actually used for a reseed.
 * This gives the same asymptotic guarantees as Fortuna, but gives more
 * entropy to early reseeds.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * The entire mechanism here feels pretty klunky.  Furthermore, there are
 * several improvements that should be made, including support for
 * dedicated cryptographic functions that may be present in some browsers;
 * state files in local storage; cookies containing randomness; etc.  So
 * look for improvements in future versions.
 * </p>
