I just posted: From: cme@clark.net (Carl Ellison) Newsgroups: sci.math,sci.math.num-analysis,sci.stat,sci.stat.math,comp.simulation,sci.crypt,sci.crypt.research Subject: Pseudo-random number conditioning toolkit Date: 28 Jan 1995 17:41:58 -0500 a pointer to my PRNG conditioning tools as UNIX processes, to be found under: ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/cme These include: 1. ranG a PRNG (either MD5 or SWB [subtract-with-borrow]), seeded by stdin and writing stdout; 2. ranH an MD5 conditioner (takes w bytes from stdin, writes 15 or 16 bytes to stdout); 3. ranM algorithm M -- (cf., Knuth vol.2) -- fed by either an internal SWB generator or a [pipe|file|device] whose name is given as a parameter. ---------------------------------------- 4. ranD using DES to condition stdin to stdout isn't there, thanks to the ITAR. I've sent a copy to Mark at ripem.msu.edu. ---------------------------------------- - Carl
