  2. Personal unblocking key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_unblocking_key

    A personal unblocking key ( PUK ), sometimes called personal unblocking code ( PUC ), is used in SIM cards to reset a personal identification number (PIN) that has been lost or forgotten. Most mobile phones offer the feature of PIN protection. After switching on the phone, if the PIN security function is active, the user is required to enter a ...

  6. PIN diode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIN_diode

    PIN diode. A PIN diode is a diode with a wide, undoped intrinsic semiconductor region between a p-type semiconductor and an n-type semiconductor region. The p-type and n-type regions are typically heavily doped because they are used for ohmic contacts . The wide intrinsic region is in contrast to an ordinary p–n diode.

  7. Fortuna (PRNG) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortuna_(PRNG)

    Fortuna is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CS-PRNG) devised by Bruce Schneier and Niels Ferguson and published in 2003. It is named after Fortuna, the Roman goddess of chance. FreeBSD uses Fortuna for /dev/random and /dev/urandom is symbolically linked to it since FreeBSD 11. [1] Apple OSes have switched to Fortuna ...

  8. Chemical oxygen generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_generator

    Chemical oxygen generator. A chemical oxygen generator is a device that releases oxygen via a chemical reaction. The oxygen source is usually an inorganic superoxide, [1] chlorate, or perchlorate. Ozonides are a promising group of oxygen sources, as well. The generators are usually ignited by a firing pin, and the chemical reaction is usually ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_random_number_generator

    The Lehmer random number generator [1] (named after D. H. Lehmer ), sometimes also referred to as the Park–Miller random number generator (after Stephen K. Park and Keith W. Miller), is a type of linear congruential generator (LCG) that operates in multiplicative group of integers modulo n. The general formula is.
