The current implementation relies on `VMPCRandomGenerator` for random number generation if BouncyCastle is registered, otherwise it falls back to `SecureRandom`. Nowadays, `SecureRandom` should always be the best available option, whereas `VMPCRandomGenerator` [has known weaknesses](https://books.google.de/books?id=niO6BQAAQBAJ&pg=PA140&lpg=PA140&dq=vmpc+prng&source=bl&ots=QAdZJOT607&sig=ACfU3U0Edqlpm08iRZJLxeWGQNwNQz7WsQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjd2Zyr9pfqAhXWMMAKHT70AioQ6AEwDnoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=vmpc%20prng&f=false).
