squares-rnd
Simple and fast counter based non-crypto random generator.
The algorithm is based on Middle Square Weyl Sequence RNG
.
See paper for details.
NOTE: Not cryptographically secure.
There are several note-worthy properties to the algorithm:
- State is represented by counter, which is incremented to produce new value, hence making it easy to predict how state would change.
- The code is short and simple, only taking minimum amount of operations to produce uniform output.
