(,), the fixed random noise generator. (,), the fixed random information generator. There are 3 players in 2 teams: generator, Q, and discriminator. The generator and Q are on one team, and the discriminator on the other team.

This list includes pairs or groups of characters who appear in a series of novels or short stories, not characters who are teamed only for a single story. Where two detectives work together, they are listed as A and B; where a single detective is regularly accompanied by a non-detecting sidekick or chronicler they are listed as A with B. The ...
Blum Blum Shub takes the form + =, where M = pq is the product of two large primes p and q.At each step of the algorithm, some output is derived from x n+1; the output is commonly either the bit parity of x n+1 or one or more of the least significant bits of x n+1.
When the number of tables is odd, the Complete Howell Movements that come closest to meeting this goal have one pair with n-1 comparisons with each of the other pairs and 2n-1 pairs that have n-2 comparisons with n-1 of the other pairs, n-1 comparisons with 1 of the other pair, and n comparisons with the remaining n-1 of the other pairs.

Fortuna is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CS-PRNG) devised by Bruce Schneier and Niels Ferguson and published in 2003. It is named after Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance. FreeBSD uses Fortuna for /dev/random and /dev/urandom is symbolically linked to it since FreeBSD 11. [1] Apple OSes have switched to Fortuna ...
The problem here is that the low-order bits of a linear congruential PRNG with modulo 2 e are less random than the high-order ones: [6] the low n bits of the generator themselves have a period of at most 2 n. When the divisor is a power of two, taking the remainder essentially means throwing away the high-order bits, such that one ends up with ...
A simple algorithm to generate a permutation of n items uniformly at random without retries, known as the Fisher–Yates shuffle, is to start with any permutation (for example, the identity permutation), and then go through the positions 0 through n − 2 (we use a convention where the first element has index 0, and the last element has index n − 1), and for each position i swap the element ...
