Abstract

In this manuscript we have presented a literature survey of cryptographically securepseudo random number generators, their requirements regarding statistical properties and next bit test. The paper also provides a brief overview of Blum Blum Shub (BBS) Generator specifically, which is considered to be the best cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator. We have performed the rigorous testing of BBS generator on National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) statistical test suite2.1.1. Scatter plot and P-value distribution graphs are also included in the manuscript to support the conclusion.
