  2. Hardware random number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware_random_number...

    A USB-pluggable hardware true random number generator. In computing, a hardware random number generator (HRNG), true random number generator (TRNG), non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG), [1] or physical random number generator [2] [3] is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process capable of producing entropy (in other words, the device always has access to a ...

  3. Luhn algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm

    The check digit is computed as follows: If the number already contains the check digit, drop that digit to form the "payload". The check digit is most often the last digit. With the payload, start from the rightmost digit. Moving left, double the value of every second digit (including the rightmost digit). Sum the values of the resulting digits.

  4. Random number generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_number_generation

    Dice are an example of a mechanical hardware random number generator. When a cubical die is rolled, a random number from 1 to 6 is obtained. Random number generation is a process by which, often by means of a random number generator (RNG), a sequence of numbers or symbols that cannot be reasonably predicted better than by random chance is generated.

  5. Pseudorandom number generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator

    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.

  6. Randomness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randomness_test

    There have been a fairly small number of different types of (pseudo-)random number generators used in practice. They can be found in the list of random number generators, and have included: Linear congruential generator and Linear-feedback shift register; Generalized Fibonacci generator; Cryptographic generators; Quadratic congruential generator

  7. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    In the asymptotic setting, a family of deterministic polynomial time computable functions : {,} {,} for some polynomial p, is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, or PRG in some references), if it stretches the length of its input (() > for any k), and if its output is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, i.e. for any probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, which ...

    IATA 2 of 5 version of Industrial 2 of 5 is used by International Air Transport Association had fixed 17 digits length with 16 valuable package identification digit and 17-th check digit. Industrial 2 of 5: Discrete: Two: Industrial 2 of 5 can encode only digits 0-9 and at this time has only historical value. ITF-14: Continuous: Two

  9. Mnemonic major system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnemonic_major_system

    Learning a vocabulary of 3-digit numbers is harder, because ten times more images need to be learned for each extra digit. Many mnemonists, however, can use a set of over 1000 images. The combination of images into a narrative is easier to do rapidly than forming a coherent grammatical sentence.
