Requirements for random numbers.

RequirementExplanation

R1RNGs must generate random numbers having good statistical properties at the output to be used in cryptographic applications.

R2In case of the attacker knows the sub-generators of random numbers, it must not be allowed to calculate or predict premise and consecutive random numbers with high accuracy.

R3It must not be possible to predict or calculate previously generated random numbers with high accuracy by considering the known current internal state value of a RNG or without requiring its internal state information.

R4It must not be possible to predict or calculate subsequent random numbers with high accuracy by considering the known current internal state value of a RNG or without requiring its internal state information.
