White noise

Cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generators are essential components in cryptography and they must ensure various security criteria such as resistance to corrupted sources or entropy loss. They are used during the generation process of new keys, random passwords, for initialization vectors, salting and other cryptographic primitives. Among these algorithms, one can find Blum Blum Shub, Fortuna or Yarrow.
