Basics of Cryptology – Part 18 (Cryptography – Random Number Generators)

#cryptology, #cryptography, #cryptanalysis, #lecture, #course, #tutorial In this video, we show the basics of cryptology (cryptology = cryptography and cryptanalysis). This video here gives an introduction to random numbers. We differentiate between true and generated random numbers. First, we discuss why we need random numbers in cryptography. Then, we show, how pseudo-random numbers are created and which additional properties cryptographic random number generators have to fulfill. We have a detailed look at linear congruential generators (LCGs) and how to create these. Finally, we show how to create LCGs in CrypTool 2 and we present other random number generators (also, we show the basic .NET random number generator Random.Random and the RNGCryptoServiceProvider, which can be both used in CrypTool 2).
