[MC 1.12.2][CC:Tweaked Only] Romulus, an accelerated security API for CC

Downloads: https://github.com/s...omulus/releases
Source: https://github.com/steamp0rt/romulus

Romulus is a mod which adds a "secure" API to CC. Currently, it only has two functions.

secure.hash: String text, String type -> String hex_out
secure.random: Integer amount -> table random_bytes

secure.random is generated with Java's SecureRandom.
The current hash types are:

KECCAK_224
KECCAK_256
KECCAK_384
KECCAK_512
SHA3_224
SHA3_256
SHA3_384
SHA3_512
SHAKE128
SHAKE256

I know that:

secure.hash(text, type)

which is useful without needing a huge library which is slower since it's lua in java,

but I honestly don't know why you have:

secure.random(length)

When you can easily emulate this feature in lua without any issues:

function random(length)
    local randomTable = {}
    for i = 1, length do
        randomTable[i] = math.random(0, 255)
    end
    return randomTable
end

Yes, but the normal math.random isn't secure. It uses java.util.random.

What about a secure.random(depth) that returns a secure number between 0 and 2^depth-1
