Quantifying Studies of (Pseudo) Random Number Generation for Cryptography

In this work, we consider random number generators for cryptography. On the one hand, we studied generators like HAVEGE, which produce the random numbers based on unpredictable events. On the other hand, we examined stream ciphers. They can be seen as pseudo-random number generators which produce the keystream starting from a short initial sequence depending on the key and an initial vector (IV).…
