The generator is based on a cryptographic hash function built on top of the ThreeFish block cipher. See the paper /Splittable Pseudorandom Number Generators Using Cryptographic Hashing/ by Claessen, Pałka for details and the rationale of the design. . The package provides the following: . * A splittable PRNG that implements the standard 'System.Random.RandomGen' class. . * The generator also implements an alternative version of the 'System.Random.TF.Gen.RandomGen' class (exported from "System.Random.TF.Gen"), which requires the generator to return pseudorandom integers from the full 32-bit range, and contains an n-way split function. . * An alternative version of the @Random@ class is provided, which is linked to the new @RandomGen@ class, together with @Random@ instances for some integral types. . * Two functions for initialising the generator with a non-deterministic seed: one using the system time, and one using the @\/dev\/urandom@ UNIX special file. . The package uses an adapted version of the reference C implementation of ThreeFish from the reference package of the Skein hash function (), originally written by Doug Whiting. . Please note that even though the generator provides very high-quality pseudorandom numbers, it has not been designed with cryptographic applications in mind. -- URL for the project homepage or repository. --homepage: http://no.home.page/ -- The license under which the package is released. license: BSD3 -- The file containing the license text. license-file: LICENSE -- The package author(s). author: Michał Pałka -- An email address to which users can send suggestions, bug reports, and -- patches. maintainer: Michał Pałka -- A copyright notice. -- copyright: category: Random build-type: Simple -- Constraint on the version of Cabal needed to build this package. cabal-version: >=1.8 extra-source-files: LICENSE.brg, LICENSE.tf, cbits/brg_types.h, cbits/skein_debug.c, cbits/skein_debug.h, cbits/threefish.h, cbits/threefish_port.h source-repository head type: darcs location: http://hub.darcs.net/michal.palka/tf-random library Hs-Source-Dirs: src C-Sources: cbits/threefish_block.c --GHC-options: -O -- Modules exported by the library. exposed-modules: System.Random.TF, System.Random.TF.Gen, System.Random.TF.Init, System.Random.TF.Instances -- Modules included in this library but not exported. -- other-modules: -- Other library packages from which modules are imported. build-depends: base >= 4.5 && < 5, primitive >= 0.3, random >= 1.0.1.1, time
