    ISO 9564. ISO 9564 is an international standard for personal identification number (PIN) management and security in financial services . The PIN is used to verify the identity of a customer (the user of a bank card) within an electronic funds transfer system, and (typically) to authorize the transfer or withdrawal of funds.

    However, generally they are considerably slower (typically by a factor 2–10) than fast, non-cryptographic random number generators. These include: Stream ciphers. Popular choices are Salsa20 or ChaCha (often with the number of rounds reduced to 8 for speed), ISAAC, HC-128 and RC4. Block ciphers in counter mode.

  4. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    For example, squaring the number "1111" yields "1234321", which can be written as "01234321", an 8-digit number being the square of a 4-digit number. This gives "2343" as the "random" number. Repeating this procedure gives "4896" as the next result, and so on. Von Neumann used 10 digit numbers, but the process was the same.

  5. Transaction authentication number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction_authentication...

    A transaction authentication number ( TAN) is used by some online banking services as a form of single use one-time passwords (OTPs) to authorize financial transactions. TANs are a second layer of security above and beyond the traditional single-password authentication . TANs provide additional security because they act as a form of two-factor ...

    The identification number has 8-digit standard format: NNNNNNN (N), where N is a numeric digit 0–9. The first numeric digit N has special meaning, and it can be one of the following digits: '1', '5' or '7'. '1': The first-time date of issuance of ID card to the bearer was 1992 or later.

  7. One-time password - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_password

    One-time password. A one-time password ( OTP ), also known as a one-time PIN, one-time authorization code ( OTAC) or dynamic password, is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction, on a computer system or other digital device. OTPs avoid several shortcomings that are associated with traditional (static) password-based ...

  8. Van de Graaff generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator

    The largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator in the world, built by Dr. Van de Graaff in the 1930s, is now displayed permanently at Boston's Museum of Science. With two conjoined 4.5 m (15 ft) aluminium spheres standing on columns 22 ft (6.7 m) tall, this generator can often obtain 2 MV (2 million volts).

  9. Function generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_generator

    Sine, square, triangle, and sawtooth waveforms. In electrical engineering, a function generator is usually a piece of electronic test equipment or software used to generate different types of electrical waveforms over a wide range of frequencies. Some of the most common waveforms produced by the function generator are the sine wave, square wave ...
