26   * Generates random {@link String}s.
27   * <p>
28   * Use {@link #secure()} to get the singleton instance based on {@link SecureRandom#SecureRandom()} which uses a secure random number generator implementing the
29   * default random number algorithm.
30   * </p>
31   * <p>
32   * Use {@link #secureStrong()} to get the singleton instance based on {@link SecureRandom#getInstanceStrong()} which uses an instance that was selected by using
33   * the algorithms/providers specified in the {@code securerandom.strongAlgorithms} {@link Security} property.
34   * </p>
35   * <p>
36   * Use {@link #insecure()} to get the singleton instance based on {@link ThreadLocalRandom#current()} <strong>which is not cryptographically secure</strong>. In addition,
37   * instances do not use a cryptographically random seed unless the {@linkplain System#getProperty system property} {@code java.util.secureRandomSeed} is set to
38   * {@code true}.
39   * </p>
40   * <p>
41   * Starting in version 3.17.0, the method {@link #secure()} uses {@link SecureRandom#SecureRandom()} instead of {@link SecureRandom#getInstanceStrong()}, and
42   * adds {@link #secureStrong()}.
43   * </p>
44   * <p>
45   * Starting in version 3.16.0, this class uses {@link #secure()} for static methods and adds {@link #insecure()}.
46   * </p>
47   * <p>
48   * Starting in version 3.15.0, this class uses {@link SecureRandom#getInstanceStrong()} for static methods.
49   * </p>
50   * <p>
51   * Before version 3.15.0, this class used {@link ThreadLocalRandom#current()} for static methods, which is not cryptographically secure.
52   * </p>
53   * <p>
54   * RandomStringUtils is intended for simple use cases. For more advanced use cases consider using Apache Commons Text's
55   * <a href= "https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-text/javadocs/api-release/org/apache/commons/text/RandomStringGenerator.html"> RandomStringGenerator</a>
56   * instead.
57   * </p>
58   * <p>
59   * The Apache Commons project provides <a href="https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-rng/">Commons RNG</a> dedicated to pseudo-random number generation,
60   * that may be a better choice for applications with more stringent requirements (performance and/or correctness).
61   * </p>
62   * <p>
63   * Note that <em>private high surrogate</em> characters are ignored. These are Unicode characters that fall between the values 56192 (db80) and 56319 (dbff) as
64   * we don't know how to handle them. High and low surrogates are correctly dealt with - that is if a high surrogate is randomly chosen, 55296 (d800) to 56191
65   * (db7f) then it is followed by a low surrogate. If a low surrogate is chosen, 56320 (dc00) to 57343 (dfff) then it is placed after a randomly chosen high
66   * surrogate.
