  2. Lavarand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavarand

    Lavarand, also known as the Wall of Entropy, is a hardware random number generator designed by Silicon Graphics that worked by taking pictures of the patterns made by the floating material in lava lamps, extracting random data from the pictures, and using the result to seed a pseudorandom number generator.

  3. Random seed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed

    A random seed (or seed state, or just seed) is a number (or vector) used to initialize a pseudorandom number generator.. A pseudorandom number generator's number sequence is completely determined by the seed: thus, if a pseudorandom number generator is later reinitialized with the same seed, it will produce the same sequence of numbers.

  4. Randomness extractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness_extractor

    Intuitively, an extractor takes a weakly random n-bit input and a short, uniformly random seed and produces an m-bit output that looks uniformly random. The aim is to have a low d {\displaystyle d} (i.e. to use as little uniform randomness as possible) and as high an m {\displaystyle m} as possible (i.e. to get out as many close-to-random bits ...

    A USB-pluggable hardware true random number generator. In computing, a hardware random number generator (HRNG), true random number generator (TRNG), non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG), [1] or physical random number generator [2] [3] is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process capable of producing entropy (in other words, the device always has access to a ...

  6. Multiply-with-carry pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiply-with-carry...

    An MWC generator is a special form of Lehmer random number generator = which allows efficient implementation of a prime modulus much larger than the machine word size. Normal Lehmer generator implementations choose a modulus close to the machine word size.

  8. Xorshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorshift

    We suggest to use a sign test to extract a random Boolean value, and right shifts to extract subsets of bits. The state must be seeded so that it is not everywhere zero. If you have a 64-bit seed, we suggest to seed a splitmix64 generator and use its output to fill s. NOTE: the parameters (a=24, b=16, c=37) of this version give slightly

  9. Blum Blum Shub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum_Blum_Shub

    Blum Blum Shub takes the form + =, where M = pq is the product of two large primes p and q.At each step of the algorithm, some output is derived from x n+1; the output is commonly either the bit parity of x n+1 or one or more of the least significant bits of x n+1.
