ACORN (random number generator)
ID: acorn-random-number-generator
ACORN is a type of random number generator (RNG) that stands for "Asynchronous Combined Random Number generator." It is designed to produce high-quality random numbers that are suitable for various applications, particularly in cryptography and secure communications. ACORN combines multiple sources of entropy to generate random numbers, ensuring that the output is unpredictable and resistant to attacks. The use of asynchronous processes helps to enhance the randomness and robustness of the generated numbers.
