Entropy Generation

Definition

‘Entropy Generation’ is the process of producing randomness, a critical component for cryptographic security and the generation of unpredictable values. In digital systems, true randomness is essential for creating secure keys, initiating random processes, and ensuring the fairness of operations. This generation often relies on physical phenomena or complex algorithms designed to produce outputs that are statistically random and difficult to predict. The quality of entropy directly impacts the security of cryptographic operations.
