NAME¶
Math::Prime::Util::ISAAC - Pure Perl ISAAC CSPRNG
VERSION¶
Version 0.68
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
A pure Perl implementation of ISAAC with a CSPRNG interface.
FUNCTIONS¶
csrand¶
Takes a binary string as input and seeds the internal CSPRNG.
srand¶
A method for sieving the CSPRNG with a small value. This will not be secure but can be useful for simulations and emulating the system "srand".
With no argument, chooses a random number, seeds and returns the number. With a single integer argument, seeds and returns the number.
irand¶
Returns a random 32-bit integer.
irand64¶
Returns a random 64-bit integer.
random_bytes¶
Takes an unsigned number "n" as input and returns that many random bytes as a single binary string.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS¶
Bob Jenkins wrote ISAAC in 1996, which is a seriously fast CSPRNG.
John Allen did the port to Perl in 2000.
Jonathan Yu released Math::Random::ISAAC in 2009 and has maintained it since.
David Oswald trimmed the code substantially for Bytes::Random::Secure::Tiny. Our code is based on that code.
