    Random Number Generator: Comprehensive Version

    Uploaded by

    Gherasie Gabriel
    The document discusses random number generators that can generate integers or decimals within a defined range. It explains that random numbers have no discernible pattern and are independent of each other, though they may follow a specific distribution. The generators presented are pseudo-random number generators that approximate true random numbers, but should not be used for cryptographic purposes where true random numbers are needed.

    A random number is a number chosen from a pool
    of limited or unlimited numbers that has no
    discernible pattern for prediction. The pool of
    numbers is almost always independent from each
    other. However, the pool of numbers may follow a
    specific distribution. For example, the height of the
    students in a school tends to follow a normal
    distribution around the median height. If the height of
    a student is picked at random, the picked number
    has higher chance to be closer to the median height
    than being classified as very tall or very short. The
    random number generators above assume that the
    numbers generated are independent of each other,
    and will be evenly spread across the whole range of
    possible values.
    A random number generator, like the ones above, is
    a device that can generate one or many random
    numbers within a defined scope. Random number
    generators can be hardware based or pseudo-
    random number generators. Hardware based
    random-number generators can involve the use of a
    dice, a coin for flipping, or many other devices.
    A pseudo-random number generator is an algorithm
    for generating a sequence of numbers whose
    properties approximate the properties of sequences
    of random numbers. Computer based random
    number generators are almost always pseudo-
    random number generators. Yet, the numbers
    generated by pseudo-random number generators
    are not truly random. Likewise, our generators
    above are also pseudo-random number generators.
    The random numbers generated are sufficient for
    most applications yet they should not be used for
    cryptographic purposes. True random numbers are
    based on physical phenomenon such as
    atmospheric noise, thermal noise, and other
    quantum phenomena. Methods that generate true
    random numbers also involve compensating for
    potential biases caused by the measurement
    process.
