🎯 What: Replaced insecure Math.random() usage in TrinityKeystore.getVector with Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) to provide cryptographically secure, unpredictable random salts.

⚠️ Risk: If left unfixed, attackers or third parties can predict generated salt vectors since Math.random() uses an insecure pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) with predictable seeds/sequences, undermining security and compromising the cryptographic vectors. Direct window referencing could also throw ReferenceError during Node.js/SSR execution.

🛡️ Solution:

  1. Leveraged a high-entropy Uint32Array with crypto.getRandomValues() to generate safe salt values (CSPRNG).
  2. Resolved the Web Crypto API dynamically (checking both window.crypto and globalThis.crypto) to avoid SSR/ReferenceError runtime issues.
  3. Added robust JSDoc security documentation clarifying the architecture and preventing regressions.

Replaced the insecure Math.random() in TrinityKeystore.getVector with Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) via getRandomValues(). Also resolved Web Crypto API dynamically to be robust against Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and non-browser Node.js/testing environments. Added JSDoc security documentation.
