Abstract:
In this thesis, we evaluated Pseudo Random Number Generators (PRNGs) on the basis
of a test called Next Bit Test (NBT). To see if a PRNG is suitable for specific purpose,
we tested it to see the results. On testing various PRNGs, we got different results
that are being discussed in detail. On the basis of our analysis on different PRNGs,
we recommend the Logged Fibonacci generator extended to the subtract and borrow
generator that holds the properties of NBT and is acceptable to be used in cryptography.
