      Some places in the JSSE code don't use the provided SecureRandom passed in SSLContext.init(..., sr), but instead use the system default SecureRandom. For example:

          sun.security.ssl.SignatureScheme.getSigner(PrivateKey privateKey)
              Signature signer = Signature.getInstance(algorithm);
              ...
              initSign(Signature s, PrivateKey privateKey,
                   AlgorithmParameterSpec params, SecureRandom random)

      Examine whether these might be updated.
