Generátory pseudonáhodných čísel

Abstract

There are several different fields of study in which pseudorandom number generators are used these days. They are being deployed from slot machines over cryptography to simulations of nuclear reaction. By the prefix pseudo we differentiate deterministic generator from so called true generator of random numbers which uses physical and hardware methods of generation. Generation by true generators of random numbers is slow, expensive and hard to control, thus software generators - pseudorandom generators are used. In this work I describe several pseudorandom generators which are often used and which I test afterwards by statistical testing for checking their quality.
