/** @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>
