Permutable Pseudorandom

Definition

Permutable Pseudorandom refers to a sequence of numbers that appears random but can be deterministically regenerated. This concept is crucial in cryptography for creating sequences that are unpredictable without a secret key, yet reproducible when needed. The “permutable” aspect implies that elements within the sequence can be rearranged or accessed in a non-sequential manner while maintaining their pseudorandom properties. Such sequences are often used in constructing cryptographic primitives like stream ciphers or generating unique identifiers.
