#PRNG #xoshiro #xoshiro256 #xor #shift #rotate

#xoshiro is a family of #publicdomain (#CC0) pseudorandom number generators.

xoshiro (xor-shift-rotate) and #xoroshiro (xor-rotate-shift-rotate) are public domain #algorithms that shift state to produce very random numbers at high speeds suitable for insecure applications. The algorithms only use a few bytes of state and are suitable for embedded applications which require good pseudorandom numbers.
