  • Even if the sentence structure means you want the link to read something else, such as PRNG, remember that you can link to a subhead, such as [[Random number#pseudorandom number generator | PRNG]].

  • As I mentioned previously, standard procedure in comsec applications is to use a cryptographically secure PRNG which is seeded with data which is unpredictable to the attacker.

  • A PRNG is normally just an algorithm where the same initial starting values will yield the same sequence of outputs.

  • On a multiuser operating system there are many sources which allow seeding the PRNG with random data.

  • The generated numbers should not have repeating patterns which means the PRNG should have a very long cycle length.

  • This addition also adds a new PRNG, SHA, and other algorithms to the engine, though no interface is yet added for them.

  • A Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG) provides applications with a stream of numbers which have certain important properties for system security:
