Tiivistelmä
The goal of this thesis is to research and go through the basics of pseudorandom number generators and their relation to cryptography. Cryptography is arguably the most challenging context for random number generators since, besides only flawlessly mimicking true randomness, it is required to have resistance to external elements. Ways to achieve these properties are presented in detail.
The process of evaluation for pseudorandom number generators to cryptographic use is multilayered, yet bipartite. Efficient methods for both sides of the evaluation process are laid out.
The evolution of pseudorandom number generators is assessed through the advancements of the algorithms themselves, as well as their testing.
