Going through C_GenerateRandom to get random numbers is
heavy-weight and has the side-effect of bringing in PKCS#11
unnecessarily and impacting performance.
Either open /dev/random or /dev/urandom and read random
numbers from that, or call random_get_bytes or
random_get_bytes in S12.0.
When java.util.UUID.randomUUID is called, java.security.SecureRandom
uses PKCS#11 to get random numbers with C_GenerateRandom. This was
discovered by an exception thrown from an Apache app written for an
internal project.
