Thread Safety and the RNG Package

There are two static values in the RNG package that one must be aware of when writing thread safe code. These values are both associated with the cryptographic hash function. The first is the number of rounds which can be modified using RngSetKeyRounds(). The second is the encryption key which can be modified using RngSetKey(). Both of these functions should be called (if desired) at the startup of a parallel program, before threads are created. If this philosophy is adhered to the RNG package is thread safe.
