Talk:Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

in One-time pad it is stated,

If the key is generated by a deterministic program then it is not actually random and should not be used in a one-time pad cipher. If so used, the method is called a stream cipher;...

which, i beliefe, is true!

Consequently

Many aspects of cryptography require random numbers, for example:

   ...
   * One-time pads
   ...

as stated in this article is false.

Stream cipher might be the right here! --sig
