Bug description:
  In the /nova/utils.py, line 328, the source code is below

              r.shuffle(password)

  This code is using shuffle method to generate a random number,
  Standard random number generators should not be used to generate
  randomness used for security reasons. For security sensitive
  randomness a crytographic randomness generator that provides
  sufficient entropy should be used.
