  2. Blum Blum Shub - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum_Blum_Shub

    Blum Blum Shub ( B.B.S.) is a pseudorandom number generator proposed in 1986 by Lenore Blum, Manuel Blum and Michael Shub [1] that is derived from Michael O. Rabin 's one-way function. Blum Blum Shub takes the form. , where M = pq is the product of two large primes p and q. At each step of the algorithm, some output is derived from xn+1; the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blum–Shub–Smale_machine

    Blum–Shub–Smale machine. In computation theory, the Blum–Shub–Smale machine, or BSS machine, is a model of computation introduced by Lenore Blum, Michael Shub and Stephen Smale, intended to describe computations over the real numbers. [1] Essentially, a BSS machine is a Random Access Machine with registers that can store arbitrary real ...

    Blum Blum Shub (1986) Naor–Reingold pseudorandom function (1997) Random number generators that use external entropy. These approaches combine a pseudo-random number generator (often in the form of a block or stream cipher) with an external source of randomness (e.g., mouse movements, delay between keyboard presses etc.).

  8. Complexity and Real Computation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complexity_and_Real...

    Complexity and Real Computation is a book on the computational complexity theory of real computation. It studies algorithms whose inputs and outputs are real numbers, using the Blum–Shub–Smale machine as its model of computation. For instance, this theory is capable of addressing a question posed in 1991 by Roger Penrose in The Emperor's ...

    Shub-Niggurath is called "the Mother Goddess", and reference is made to "her sons", presumably Nug and Yeb. Other references. Other evidence of Lovecraft's conception of Shub-Niggurath can be found in his letters. For example, in a letter to Willis Conover, Lovecraft described her as an "evil cloud-like entity". "Yog-Sothoth's wife is the ...
