In this paper, the authors propose the application of cryptography algorithm to ensure secure communication across the virtual networks. In cryptography, ...

One algorithm, a pseudo-random bit generator, Dual_EC_DRBG, was ratified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2007 and is attracting a lot of attention for having a ...

It is called "pseudo" random, because the algorithm can repeat the sequence, and the numbers are thus not entirely random. See CDMA and PN sequence. THIS DEFINITION IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.

Making random numbers that are actually random is actually a tough nut to crack. Most of what we do is, technically, pseudo-random (but we’ll say random number and assume you know what we mean).

To foil would-be hackers, computer systems need to generate sequences of random numbers. Some systems use what’s known as pseudo-random numbers, which are actually complex patterns that begin with a ...

What they have created is an algorithm which ensures that seemingly random numbers really are as random as they look.

Often the default seed value for a pseudo-random number generator is something like the current time converted to a number.

Meanwhile perhaps it is time for the Arduino folks to re-appraise their documentation. The subject of entropy and generating random numbers is one that has appeared on these pages many times.
