Pseudorandom number generator: Cryptographic PRNGs, Potential issues & Non-uniform generators

A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), also known as a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG), is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by an initial value or state, usually…
