Cryptography
Randomness refers to the lack of pattern or predictability in events, making outcomes uncertain. In cryptography, especially in the context of stream ciphers and pseudo-random number generators, randomness is crucial for generating secure keys and ensuring the confidentiality of data. True randomness is derived from unpredictable physical processes, while pseudo-randomness is generated by algorithms that simulate randomness but can be replicated.
congrats on reading the definition of randomness. now let's actually learn it.
