Remarks
Reseeds this random object with the given seed. The seed supplements, rather than replaces, the existing seed. Thus, repeated calls are guaranteed never to reduce randomness.
A PRNG SecureRandom will not seed itself automatically if setSeed is called before any nextBytes or reseed calls. The caller should make sure that the seed argument contains enough entropy for the security of this SecureRandom.
