There are a great variety of ways to build a random number generator, and similarly many ways to generate numbers that appear random, but in a pure mathematical sense generally aren’t. [Daniel Valuch] ...

A truly random number is something that is surprisingly difficult to generate. A typical approach is to generate the required element of chance from a natural and unpredictable source, such as ...

Random number generation is a key part of cybersecurity and encryption, and it is applied to many apps used in everyday life, both for business and leisure. These numbers help create unique keys, ...

A nonlinear congruential pseudorandom number generator with modulus M = 2 w is proposed, which may be viewed to comprise both linear as well as inversive congruential generators. The condition for it ...

Many digital designs incorporate high-speed generation of pseudorandom numbers. Typically, pseudorandom number generation is implemented using linear-feedback shift register (LFSR). An LFSR produces a ...
