Abstract

In this chapter, the author considers existing methods and means of forming pseudo-random sequences of numbers and also are described the main characteristics of random and pseudorandom sequences of numbers. The main theoretical aspects of the construction of pseudo-random number generators are considered. Classification of pseudorandom number generators is presented. The structures and models of the most popular pseudo-random number generators are considered, the main characteristics of generators that affect the quality of the formation of pseudorandom bit sequences are described. The models of the basic mathematical generators of pseudo-random numbers are considered, and also the principles of building hardware generators are presented.
