In an apparent attempt to improve the PRNG, Apple switched to a new one based on a linear congruential generator in iOS 7. But, claims Mandt, the new PRNG "is alarmingly weak in practice." The problem ...

The circuit does work great for a pumpkin lantern but his video is more of a tutorial on coding linear congruential generator (LCG) for the 8 bit pseudo-random LED flickering.

The Early Random Pseudo-Random Number Generator in Apple iOS 7 returns predictable outcomes threatening kernel exploit mitigations native to the mobile operating system.

Such generators are statistically more robust than simple linear congruential generators that fit into a computer word. We made extensive computer searches for good parameter sets, with respect to the ...

We look at the quality of approximation of the exact distributions of the tests statistics by their asymptotic distributions, discuss computational issues, and apply the tests to random number ...
