2. Password - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password

   Passwords that are used to generate cryptographic keys (e.g., for disk encryption or Wi-Fi security) can also be subjected to high rate guessing. Lists of common passwords are widely available and can make password attacks very efficient. (See Password cracking.) Security in such situations depends on using passwords or passphrases of adequate ...

3. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

   A cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) or cryptographic pseudorandom number generator (CPRNG) [1] is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) with properties that make it suitable for use in cryptography. It is also loosely known as a cryptographic random number generator (CRNG), [2] [3] which can be compared to "true ...

   It can help generate more secure passwords "If you have a weak password, it makes it easier for hackers to gain access to your account and exploit it," Cluely says.

5. Pseudorandom generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_generator

   Pseudorandom generator. In theoretical computer science and cryptography, a pseudorandom generator (PRG) for a class of statistical tests is a deterministic procedure that maps a random seed to a longer pseudorandom string such that no statistical test in the class can distinguish between the output of the generator and the uniform distribution.

6. Random number generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

   Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator ( RNG ), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated. This means that the particular outcome sequence will contain some patterns detectable in hindsight but impossible to foresee.

7. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

   A pseudorandom number generator ( PRNG ), also known as a deterministic random bit generator ( DRBG ), [1] 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 ...
