 > Also, if NSS is only used as a source of random bytes, you should
 consider using https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsIRandomGenerator. It uses NSS's PRNG
 underneath. The reason to avoid jsctypes is because it increases the
 vulnerability surface for sandboxed TBBs. We're pondering removing it if
 we ever get a working sandbox (see #6152).

 Thanks for this. Looks interesting and potentially beneficial. I will test
 to see if we can implement it within our framework and let you know.
