Random Number Generators: Verilog Description, Hardware Implementation and Applications - Luis Gerardo de la Fraga

This book discusses the details of random number generation (RNG) as a key technology that is used for information security in various fields, such as electronic commerce and authentication. Readers will see how random numbers are used in various applications such as in the generation of keys for data encryption, games, lotteries, sampling, simulations, statistical sampling, search/sort algorithms, and gambling. The authors describe how the classification of RNGs encompasses linear and nonlinear (chaotic) pseudo and truly random number generators, and how they can be evaluated by applying statistical tests.
