چکیده
A random number generator (often abbreviated as RNG) is a computational or physical device designed to generate a sequence of numbers or symbols that lack any pattern, i.e. appear random. Computer-based systems for random number generation are widely used, but often fall short of this goal, though they may meet some statistical tests for randomness intended to ensure that they do not have any easily discernible patterns. Methods for generating random results have existed since ancient times, including dice, coin flipping, the shuffling of playing cards, the use of yarrow stalks in the I Ching, and many other techniques.

SPICE Simulation of a "Provably Secure" True Random Number Generator
In their paper “A Provably Secure True Random Number Generator with Built-in Tolerance to Active Attacks”, B. Sunar, W. Martin, and D. Stinson propose a design for a true random number generator. Using SPICE simulation we study the behaviour of their random number generator and show that practical implementations result in a too high frequency signal to be processed with current CMOS technology.
متن کاملNew Design of Crypto-Based Pseudo random number generator (CBPRNG) using BLOW FISH cipher
Random Number Generators (RNGs) are an important building block for algorithms and protocols in cryptography. Random number generation is used in a wide variety of cryptographic operations, such as key generation and challenge/response protocols. A random number generator outputs a sequence of 0s and 1s such that at any position, the next bit cannot be expected on the previous bits. However, tr...
متن کاملEfficient Prediction of Marsaglia-Zaman Random Number Generators
We show that the random number generator of Marsaglia and Zaman produces the successive digits of a rational -adic number. (The -adic number system generalizes -adic numbers to an arbitrary integer base .) Using continued fractions, we derive an efficient prediction algorithm for this generator.
متن کاملOn the Reliability of Random Number Generators
In this paper we discuss major problems related to reliability of random number generators used for simulation studies. We propose the decimals of π as the most reliable random number generator as compared to certain real normal numbers as well as all families of pseudorandom number generators. A new property that a random number generator must have is introduced. Two applications are discussed.
متن کاملPeriod of the d-Sequence Based Random Number Generator
This paper presents an expression to compute the exact period of a recursive random number generator based on d-sequences. Using the multi-recursive version of this generator we can produce large number of pseudorandom sequences.
متن کاملRandom Number Generator Using Various Techniques through VHDL
Random numbers are useful for a variety of purposes, such as generating data encryption keys, simulating and modeling complex phenomena and for selecting random samples from larger data sets. They have also been used aesthetically, for example in literature and music, and are of course ever popular for games and gambling. When discussing single numbers, a random number is one that is drawn from...
