Description
SplittableRandom supports the following:

 * in security-sensitive applications. Additionally,
 * default-constructed instances do not use a cryptographically random
 * seed unless the {@linkplain System#getProperty system property}
 * {@code java.util.secureRandomSeed} is set to {@code true}.

ThreadLocalRandom can do the same, but requires JDK-8024009 to be fixed first.
