Hi,
I think the Diffie Hellman key agreement has a bug in it -- the
`while' where the random key is generated looks like its condition is
the opposite. That is, it should be an "until this is true" not "while
this is true". Am I correct here?
At any rate, with it negated the algorithm doesn't hang forever.
Also, a suggestion: allow the PRNG parameter to be either a
SecureRandom *or* an IRandom.
