2c52abe6 28/*----- Notes on the BBS generator ----------------------------------------*
29 *
30 * The Blum-Blum-Shub generator takes the least significant bits from the
31 * sequence %$x_i = x_{i - 1}^2 \bmod n$%, where %$n = pq$% is the product of
32 * two primes %$p$% and %$q$%, each of which are congruent to %$3 \bmod 4$%.
33 * For maximum period of the generator, %$(p - 1)/2$% and %$(q - 1)/1$%
05cac080 34 * should be coprime. It is safe to use the least significant
35 * %$\log \log n$% bits of each step in the sequence -- an adversary must
36 * factor the modulus before being able to work forwards or backwards. The
37 * output of the generator cannot be distinguished from a (uniform,
38 * independent) random sequence of bits using any polynomial-time test. This
39 * is by far the strongest pseudorandom number generator provided in
40 * Catacomb, and by far the slowest too. For normal use, the standard
41 * Catacomb @rand@ generator should be more than adequate.
