Random numbers are important tools for generating secret keys, encrypting messages, or masking the content of certain protocols with a random sequence that can be deterministically generated. The lack ...

In this paper, the authors propose the application of cryptography algorithm to ensure secure communication across the virtual networks. In cryptography, ...

Random number generation algorithms used for PRNG include ' square extraction method ', ' linear congruential method ', ' linear feedback shift register ', and ' Mersenne Twister '.

Generating a string of random numbers is easy. The hard part is proving that they’re random. As Dilbert creator Scott Adams once pointed out, “that’s the problem with randomness: you can ...

Making random numbers that are actually random is actually a tough nut to crack. Most of what we do is, technically, pseudo-random (but we’ll say random number and assume you know what we mean).
