    However, generally they are considerably slower (typically by a factor 2–10) than fast, non-cryptographic random number generators. These include: Stream ciphers. Popular choices are Salsa20 or ChaCha (often with the number of rounds reduced to 8 for speed), ISAAC, HC-128 and RC4. Block ciphers in counter mode.

  3. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheating_in_online_games

    Typical extrasensory perception (ESP) hack showing the health, name and bounding box of an entity that is not otherwise visible. On online games, cheating subverts the rules or mechanics of the games to gain an unfair advantage over other players, generally with the use of third-party software. [1] [2] What constitutes cheating is dependent on ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness_test

    Randomness test. A randomness test (or test for randomness ), in data evaluation, is a test used to analyze the distribution of a set of data to see whether it can be described as random (patternless). In stochastic modeling, as in some computer simulations, the hoped-for randomness of potential input data can be verified, by a formal test for ...

  7. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    That is, given the first k bits of a random sequence, there is no polynomial-time algorithm that can predict the (k+1)th bit with probability of success non-negligibly better than 50%. Andrew Yao proved in 1982 that a generator passing the next-bit test will pass all other polynomial-time statistical tests for randomness.

  8. ACORN (random number generator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../ACORN_(random_number_generator)

    The ACORN or ″ A dditive Co ngruential R andom N umber″ generators are a robust family of pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) for sequences of uniformly distributed pseudo-random numbers, introduced in 1989 and still valid in 2019, thirty years later. Introduced by R.S.Wikramaratna, [1] ACORN was originally designed for use in ...
