How can the misuse of pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) lead to security vulnerabilities in computer systems?
Friday, 04 August 2023 by EITCA Academy
The misuse of pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) can indeed lead to security vulnerabilities in computer systems. PRNGs are algorithms that generate sequences of numbers that appear to be random but are actually deterministic, meaning that given the same seed value, they will produce the same sequence of numbers. These generators are commonly used in various
