Dual_EC_DRBG. Dual_EC_DRBG ( Dual Elliptic Curve Deterministic Random Bit Generator) [1] is an algorithm that was presented as a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) using methods in elliptic curve cryptography.
RDRAND (for "read random") is an instruction for returning random numbers from an Intel on-chip hardware random number generator which has been seeded by an on-chip entropy source. [1] It is also known as Intel Secure Key Technology, [2] codenamed Bull Mountain. [3] Intel introduced the feature around 2012, and AMD added support for the ...
A generator matrix for a linear [,,]-code has format , where n is the length of a codeword, k is the number of information bits (the dimension of C as a vector subspace), d is the minimum distance of the code, and q is size of the finite field, that is, the number of symbols in the alphabet (thus, q = 2 indicates a binary code, etc.).
Mathematics. Institutions. Florida State University. Washington State University. Doctoral advisor. Henry Mann. George Marsaglia (March 12, 1924 – February 15, 2011) [1] was an American mathematician and computer scientist. He is best known for creating the diehard tests, a suite of software for measuring statistical randomness.
Fortuna is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CS-PRNG) devised by Bruce Schneier and Niels Ferguson and published in 2003. It is named after Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance. FreeBSD uses Fortuna for /dev/random and /dev/urandom is symbolically linked to it since FreeBSD 11. [1] Apple OSes have switched to Fortuna ...
A pseudorandom generator can be constructed from one-way permutation ƒ as follows: G l: {0,1} l →{0,1} l+1 = ƒ(x).B(x), where B is hard-core predicate of ƒ and "." is a concatenation operator. Note, that by the theorem proven above, it is only needed to show the existence of a generator that adds just one pseudorandom bit.
Xorshift. Xorshift random number generators, also called shift-register generators, are a class of pseudorandom number generators that were invented by George Marsaglia. [1] They are a subset of linear-feedback shift registers (LFSRs) which allow a particularly efficient implementation in software without the excessive use of sparse polynomials ...
Global Consciousness Project. The Global Consciousness Project ( GCP, also called the EGG Project) is a parapsychology experiment begun in 1998 as an attempt to detect possible interactions of "global consciousness " with physical systems. The project monitors a geographically distributed network of hardware random number generators in a bid to ...
