Dispositivo utilizado para producir una secuencia
aleatoria de caracteres. [CESID:1997]
A process used to generate
an unpredictable series of numbers. Each individual value is called random if
each of the values in the total population of values has an equal probability
of being selected. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
Analog or digital source of
unpredictable, unbiased, and usually independent bits. Randomizers can be used
for several different functions, including key generation or to provide a
starting state for a key generator. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
A process used to generate
an unpredictable series of numbers. Each individual value is called random if
each of the values in the total population of values has an equal probability
of being selected. [NIST-SP800-57:2007]
A device or algorithm that
outputs a sequence of bits that appears to be statistically independent and
unbiased. [ISO-19790:2006]
A module that generates
streams of random numbers. The random source could be analog oscillator (ARNG)
or Digital oscillator (DRNG).
