We describe the design of Yarrow, a family of cryptographic pseudo-random number generators (PRNG). We describe the concept of a PRNG as a separate cryptographic primitive, and the...
In this paper we discuss PRNGs: the mechanisms used by real-world secure systems to generate cryptographic keys, initialization vectors, "random" nonces, and other values...

This article deals with the digital inversive method for generating uniform pseudorandom numbers. Equidistribution and statistical independence properties of the generated pseudora...
Abstract: Pseudorandom number generators are widely used in the area of simulation. Defective generators are still widely used in standard library programs, although better pseudor...
