This won't appear in the list of methods declared by `SecureRandom`. An analogy 
is 
[`ConcurrentHashMap::forEach(BiConsumer)`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/24/docs/api/java.base/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentHashMap.html#methods-inherited-from-class-java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap):
 this method is [overridden in 
`ConcurrentHashMap`](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/jdk24/src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/concurrent/ConcurrentHashMap.java#L1613)
 but is described by Javadoc as "Methods declared in interface 
java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentMap".

Since this method won't appear, we don't need an `@inheritDoc` tag.
