An Inversive Congruential Generator (ICG) is a type of pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) that is based on number theory and utilizes the properties of modular arithmetic. The ICG is a variation of the more general class of congruential generators, specifically designed to have better statistical properties in certain contexts.
