  2. Mask generation function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mask_generation_function

    Mask generation functions are deterministic; the octet string output is completely determined by the input octet string. The output of a mask generation function should be pseudorandom, that is, if the seed to the function is unknown, it should be infeasible to distinguish the output from a truly random string. [1]

  3. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    However, the need in a Fisher–Yates shuffle to generate random numbers in every range from 0–1 to 0–n almost guarantees that some of these ranges will not evenly divide the natural range of the random number generator. Thus, the remainders will not always be evenly distributed and, worse yet, the bias will be systematically in favor of ...

  4. Chvátal–Sankoff constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chvátal–Sankoff_constants

    Compute a longest common subsequence of these two strings, and let , be the random variable whose value is the length of this subsequence. Then the expected value of λ n , k {\displaystyle \lambda _{n,k}} is (up to lower-order terms) proportional to n , and the k th Chvátal–Sankoff constant γ k {\displaystyle \gamma _{k}} is the constant ...

  5. de Bruijn sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence

    An f-fold n-ary de Bruijn sequence is an extension of the notion n-ary de Bruijn sequence, such that the sequence of the length contains every possible subsequence of the length n exactly f times. For example, for n = 2 {\displaystyle n=2} the cyclic sequences 11100010 and 11101000 are two-fold binary de Bruijn sequences.

  6. Random password generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_password_generator

    Random password generator in Bitwarden, here certain parameters can be adjusted from length to complexity. A random password generator is a software program or hardware device that takes input from a random or pseudo-random number generator and automatically generates a password. Random passwords can be generated manually, using simple sources ...

  7. Pseudorandom binary sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_binary_sequence

    For a maximum length sequence, where =, the duty cycle is 1/2. A PRBS is 'pseudorandom', because, although it is in fact deterministic, it seems to be random in a sense that the value of an element is independent of the values of any of the other elements, similar to real random sequences.

  8. Commentz-Walter algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commentz-Walter_algorithm

    It combines ideas from Aho–Corasick with the fast matching of the Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm. For a text of length n and maximum pattern length of m, its worst-case running time is O(mn), though the average case is often much better. [2] GNU grep once implemented a string matching algorithm very similar to Commentz-Walter. [3]

  9. Pseudorandom generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_generator

    If a full derandomization is desired, a completely deterministic simulation proceeds by replacing the random input to the randomized algorithm with the pseudorandom string produced by the pseudorandom generator. The simulation does this for all possible seeds and averages the output of the various runs of the randomized algorithm in a suitable way.
