/**
 * An API for getting cryptographically-secure random bytes. The bytes are
 * generated using the Fortuna algorithm devised by Bruce Schneier and
 * Niels Ferguson.
 *
 * Getting strong random bytes is not yet easy to do in javascript. The only
 * truish random entropy that can be collected is from the mouse, keyboard, or
 * from timing with respect to page loads, etc. This generator makes a poor
 * attempt at providing random bytes when those sources haven't yet provided
 * enough entropy to initially seed or to reseed the PRNG.
