Floyd–Rivest algorithm

ID: floyd-rivest-algorithm

The Floyd–Rivest algorithm, also known as the **Floyd–Rivest pseudorandom number generator**, is a method for generating pseudorandom numbers based on the concept of linear feedback shift registers (LFSRs) and is known for its simplicity and effectiveness. Developed by Robert W. Floyd and Ronald L. Rivest, this algorithm is typically used in cryptographic applications and random number generation.
