I don't see any reason why it would need random numbers for OAuth 2.0. Part of the reasoning that went into the OAuth 2.0 spec is that not all applications might have access to encryption, so encryption should only be used at the protocol level (i.e. HTTPS).
As it requires an "OAuth proxy" for OAuth 1.0a and some implementations of OAuth 2.0, it seems that it offloads the crypto (and secret API key) to that proxy.
