Exam 7: Random and Pseudorandom Number

The best that can be done to determine if a PRNG generates numbers that have the characteristic of randomness is on the basis of multiple tests.These tests should seek to establish uniformity,scalability,and __________ .

A fundamental requirement of the RSA public-key encryption scheme is the ability to generate _________ numbers.

A __________ is a symmetric encryption algorithm in which ciphertext output is produced bit-by-bit or byte-by-byte from a stream of plaintext input.

The __________ is drawn from the physical environment of the computer and could include things such as keystroke timing patterns,disk electrical activity,mouse movements,and instantaneous values of the system clock.

A __________ takes as input a source that is effectively random.
