In cryptography, a pseudorandom generator (or PSG) is procedure that outputs a sequence computationally indistinguishable from truly random sequence with uniformly distributed random sequence. The prefix pseudo (from Greek ψευδής "lying, false") is used to mark something as false, fraudulent, or pretending to be something it is not. Pseudo random generators find application in many fields besides cryptography such as applied mathematics, physics and simulations. Simulations often require mechanisms producing sequences of random values. These procedures are certainly non-trivial and often require significant amounts of computational time.


Definition

A pseudorandom generator (or PRG) is a (deterministic) map Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{G:\{0, 1\}^l \rightarrow \{0, 1\}^n}}} , where Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{n \geq l}}} . Here Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{l}}} is the 'seed length' and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{n - l \geq 0}}} is the 'stretch'.

In other words we are thying to convince any outside party (let's call them an adversary) that sequences returned from PRG are being produced chosen at random. Adversary may use statistical test algorithms to check simultaneously outputs from PRG and uniformly random sequnces. PRGs ensure that to the adversary both outputs look the same.

Construction of simple PRG

There are many ways how to construct PRGs and one of the simpliest ones is to use pseudorandom functions and expand the key. A pseudorandom function is any function defined over Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{\textnormal(K, X, Y)}}}  :

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{F:K \times X \rightarrow Y}}}

where:

  1. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{K}}} is key space
  2. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{X}}} is input space
  3. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{Y}}} is output space

such that exists efficient algorithm to evaluate Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{\textnormal F(k,x)}}} .[2]


On the other hand pseudorandom permutation is any function defined over Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{\textnormal(K, X)}}} :

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{E:K \times X \rightarrow X}}}

such that[2]:

  1. Exists efficient deterministic algorithm to evaluate Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{\textnormal E(k,x)}}}
  2. The function Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{\textnormal F(k,\cdot)}}} is one-to-one
  3. Exists efficient inversion algorithm Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{\textnormal D(k,y)}}}


Any pseudorandom permutation is also pseudorandom function given

  1. Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{X=Y}}}
  2. Function is efficiently invertible


So let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{F: K \times X \rightarrow Y}}} be a PRF


Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle {{ \begin{cases} Functions[X, Y]: \text{ all functions from X to Y}\\ S_F = {F(k, \dot) st. k \in K} \subseteq Functions[X, Y] \end{cases} }
