/**
 * NOTE
 *
 * *** UPDATE (ddahl): 2012-09-24 ***
 * Reduced this source code to just include GenerateRandomBytes
 *
 * The WeaveCrypto object in this file was originally pulled from hg.mozilla.org
 *
 * http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ \
 * raw-file/d0c40fc38702/services/crypto/modules/WeaveCrypto.js
 *
 * WeaveCrypto's API as it was released in Firefox 4 was reduced in scope due
 * to Sync's move to J-Pake, hence the need for this more complete version.
