Prof. Dr. Joachim von zur GathenDr. Daniel Loebenberger
Tutorial: Dr. Daniel Loebenberger
Randomness has become an important tool in the design of efficient algorithms. But what is a random bit? 0? 1? The necessary quality of randomness depends on the application: In cryptography such bits have to satisfy more requirements than when they are used for Monte-Carlo simulations in particle physics (from where their computational use originated). Cryptographic protocols require random ...
