pseudorandom key generator
1Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator — A cryptographically secure pseudo random number generator (CSPRNG) is a pseudo random number generator (PRNG) with properties that make it suitable for use in cryptography. Many aspects of cryptography require random numbers, for example: Key… …
2Key generation — is the process of generating keys for cryptography. A key is used to encrypt and decrypt whatever data is being encrypted/decrypted.Modern cryptographic systems include symmetric key algorithms (such as DES and AES) and public key algorithms… …
3Pseudorandom generator — In theoretical computer science, a pseudorandom generator is a deterministic method of generating a large amount of pseudorandom, or apparently random, data, from a small amount of initial random data. The initial data is commonly known as a… …
4Pseudorandom noise — In cryptography, pseudorandom noise (PRN[1][2]) is a signal similar to noise which satisfies one or more of the standard tests for statistical randomness. Although it seems to lack any definite pattern, pseudorandom noise consists of a… …
5Pseudorandom generator theorem — In computational complexity a distribution is considered pseudorandom if no efficient computation can distinguish it from the true uniform distribution by a non negligible advantage. Formally, a family of distributions Dn is pseudorandom if for… …
6Hardware random number generator — This SSL Accelerator computer card uses a hardware random number generator to generate cryptographic keys to encrypt data sent over computer networks. In computing, a hardware random number generator is an apparatus that generates random numbers… …
7Random number generator attack — The security of cryptographic systems depends on some secret data that is known to authorized persons but unknown and unpredictable to others. To achieve this unpredictability, some randomization is typically employed. Modern cryptographic… …
8Naor-Reingold Pseudorandom Function — In 1997, Moni Naor and Omer Reingold described efficient constructions for various cryptographic primitives in private key as well as public key cryptography. Their result is the construction of an efficient pseudorandom function. Let p and l be… …
