I need an algorithm that pretty much will turn a unix timestamp into a suitably random number, so that if I "play back" the timestamps I get the same random numbers. And here's what I mean by suitably: Most humans will not detect a loop or pattern in the random numbers. It need not be cryptographically secure. All numbers must be capa...
I'm looking for a PRNG (pseudo randomness) that you initially seed with an arbitrary array of bytes. Heard of any? ...
Similarily to RC4 (RC4_PRNG+XOR ), would it be secure to use another CSPRNG(Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator)[Isaac, BlumBlumShub, etc) instead of RC4's and XOR the data with the resulting keystream? ...
I need some good pseudo random number generator that can be computed like a pure function from its previous output without any state hiding. Under "good" I mean: I must be able to parametrize generator in such way that running it for 2^n iterations with any parameters (or with some large subset of them) should cover all or almost all v...
can anyone tell me if the mersenne twister psuedocode on this page is the same as the code here? if they are not the same, which one is correct? ...
I would like some sort of method to create a fairly long sequence of random numbers that I can flip through backwards and forwards. Like a machine with "next" and "previous" buttons, that will give you random numbers. Something like 10-bit resolution (i.e. positive integers in a range from 0 to 1023) is enough, and a sequence of >100k ...
