In Android this is equivalent to get a SHA1PRNG from AndroidOpenSSL.
Some situations require strong random values, such as when creating high-value/long-lived secrets like RSA public/private keys. To help guide applications in selecting a suitable strong SecureRandom implementation, Java distributions include a list of known strong SecureRandom implementations in the securerandom.strongAlgorithms Security property.
Every implementation of the Java platform is required to support at least one strong SecureRandom implementation.
