{wiki=Self-shrinking_generator}
A self-shrinking generator is a type of pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) used in cryptography and secure communications. It is notable for its simplicity and efficiency, particularly in generating bits with a certain level of unpredictability. \#\#\# Key Features: 1. **Structure**: The self-shrinking generator typically consists of two main components: - A linear feedback shift register (LFSR) that produces a sequence of bits.
