Abstract: An enormous number of commercial applications (over 350 million copies) rely on the BSAFE and JSAFE toolkits from RSA Data Security to generate cryptographically strong pseudorandom numbers for keys, initialization vectors, challenges, etc. This paper describes the algorithms used by these toolkits, discusses their design, analyzes their resistance to various attacks, and presents results from statistical tests. The algorithms appear to be well suited for cryptographic applications.... (Update)
