I'm using the default SecureRandom implementation and I'm seeding it using its instance Seed method. Is this secure? As in, will my seed be applied also for future instances of the type? My reasons for asking is because the Seed method is an instance method, while I would expect something modifying the state of the type as a whole being static ...?
