2. Pseudorandom function family - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_function_family

   Pseudorandom function family. In cryptography, a pseudorandom function family, abbreviated PRF, is a collection of efficiently-computable functions which emulate a random oracle in the following way: no efficient algorithm can distinguish (with significant advantage) between a function chosen randomly from the PRF family and a random oracle (a ...

3. Random walk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_walk

   A random walk is a discrete fractal (a function with integer dimensions; 1, 2, ...), but a Wiener process trajectory is a true fractal, and there is a connection between the two. For example, take a random walk until it hits a circle of radius r times the step length.

4. Wikipedia:10,000 most common passwords - Wikipedia

   If your password is on this list of the 10,000 most common passwords, you need a new password. A hacker can use or generate files like this, which may be readily compiled from breaches of sites such as Ashley Madison. Usually, passwords are not tried one-by-one against a system's secure server online; instead, a hacker might manage to gain ...

5. Mersenne Twister - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mersenne_Twister

   Mersenne Twister. The Mersenne Twister is a general-purpose pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) developed in 1997 by Makoto Matsumoto (松本 眞) and Takuji Nishimura (西村 拓士). [1] [2] Its name derives from the choice of a Mersenne prime as its period length.

6. Xorshift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xorshift

   Xorshift. Xorshift random number generators, also called shift-register generators, are a class of pseudorandom number generators that were invented by George Marsaglia. [1] They are a subset of linear-feedback shift registers (LFSRs) which allow a particularly efficient implementation in software without the excessive use of sparse polynomials ...
